Science Fair Updates - Assignment 7/8 Combined

Welcome Back!

You should be done with your experimentation by now. If you are not, you need to TAKE THE INITIATIVE and see me so we can reconfigure dates for you. As I explained before break, you did not need to do Assignment 6.

Here is Assignment 7/8 combined!

Assignment 7/8
Checklist for Final Draft and Parent Info

I have finished my experiment and rough draft! I am so happy that part is behind me so that I can concentrate on my final copy, presentation and board!

This is it! Countdown to completion! If you would like to participate in the GSSSF you must register online. We will do that during class.

This is the final draft summary for your project. When you hand this in, you will only have to do your abstract and your board plus corrections to this draft. For this assignment, you have to have finished your experiment. You will then have to make corrections to this copy prior to Science Fair. Remember that ATTENDANCE at Science Fair is mandatory and part of your grade. Parents, please be sure to have your child at school at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 19. They will be done around 8:00 p.m. Students may not leave until they turn in their folders to me.

Science Fair Assignment #5

Science Fair Assignment #5
Due Date: 2/11-12

As previously discussed in class, you should have assembled your materials and started your experiment. Your assignment is to have a parent sign this form at the bottom so that I know that a parent knows you need to be working on your experiment. It is not necessary for you to have completed your experiment.

You need to:

1. Set up your document.
a. Title Page
b. Purpose
c. Hypothesis
d. Materials
e. Method (Procedure)
f. Data Table (Chart) with preliminary results
g. Graph with results
2. Keep collecting data!
3. Bacteria People – you should have everything EXCEPT results! You will have those for 2/11.

**I have read the timeline in the front of the folder for Science Fair. My child has assembled the required materials and has begun experimentation and data collection.
