Science Fair Ahoy!!

OK scientists... science fair is practically here... just around the corner! I am anxiously awaiting Monday morning, March 12th so I can see all the fabulous science that has gone on in the last few weeks. A few reminders... do not put your name on the front of the project or the front of your report/write up, do be sure that your project is experimental or it can not be judged with the rest of the porjects, and be sure your display is neat and eye catching and contains the whole 'story' of your experiment.

And since you are so far ahead with your project you can take a few minutes to watch Steve Spangler, that crazy science guy, implode a 55 gallon drum with nothing but a few gallons of water and some heat! Go here to see the video.

Titles and Hypotheses and kid ideas... Oh my!

I am loving the titles that are coming in for projects so far! I apologize for the confusion about the Monday day and Tuesday date... Let's say it is a fluid deadline! I will be accepting titles until Friday, the committee will begin reviewing them on Wednesday. I hope to have confirmation letters out to everyone that submits by Friday just confirming that I have your student down and outlining the points that the projects will be judged on. Please let me know if your student will be submitting a title later than Friday via email or comment on the blog. Thanks so much!

Title and Hypothesis Form has been posted...

Hello everyone! I hope that you have all begun to think about your science fair projects. The title and a hypothesis for your project, along with your name, grade, teacher and possibly a contact email address for you or a parent should be brought to school next Monday, Feb 14th and placed in the Science Fair box in the Media Center. The form is available in the Media Center and is downloadable from the link to the right in the sidebar. You don't have to have a form, but it makes it easier to remember everything that should be included. I am looking forward to seeing how many projects to expect and what fabulous ideas you have for experiments.

Also, if you know anyone who might need the Science Fair Guideline document in Spanish so their parents would have an easier time helping with their project please leave a comment or contact the CHES Student Advocate, Shara Vega. She is working on getting us a Spanish version. I apologize for the delay in providing this document in that form.

Thanks. Have a great week.
