SCIENCE FAIR TOPICS are DUE MONDAY 10/5/15.
Science fair projects should be well under way.
Don’t forget these need to be presented in class on
Monday November 16th. Parents are welcome to
come to Science Fair Night on Thursday November
19th @ 6:00pm in our Media Center.
Remember also, projects should test a theory- NOT
be a demonstration or display (ie: no volcanos, no
solar systems). You should have a question that
you are trying to answer by testing one variable.
The links on my website are very helpful if you are
still looking for ideas!!
