We will devote some class time to science fair preparations, but students will have to work at home as well

We will be reviewing each step of developing a science fair project in class. For this reason, I ask that students not rush ahead. If they do rush ahead, they may find themselves having to re-do parts of their project because they do not meet the criteria.

I have attached some information about science fair projects for you to refer to if you have any questions. You are also welcome to ask me!

Our first step is to decide a topic. I have some ideas for students in they are stumped. We will be reviewing and brainstorming some ideas in class.

Students are to work alone for this project.
