Science Fair Project: Exploring Careers in the Field of Science
Science Fair Project
2014/2015
Onyx/Jasper/Jade/Quartz Classes
This year’s Science Fair Project involves exploring careers in the field of Science. Each student will “become a Scientist” of some type and create an experiment that fits the type of Scientist that he or she has chosen. Students will be responsible for maintaining his or her own Science Notebook AND creating a display board to showcase his or her experiment. Both items are due on Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Oral reports will also begin on this day and last through the remainder of the week.
The science notebooks will contain all of the information that the student has gathered throughout his or her research and experimentation. It should all be completed in the students own handwriting (please do not type) and contain only the students thoughts and work. Students are asked not to erase mistake, but rather cross them out (in science mistakes may contain important data to be used in further studies). The requirements for science notebooks will be outlined in this packet.
