Today we begin our Science Fair projects. This is my first year attempting to do a science fair in the classroom. So far they are loving it. Now whether it is because they get to use computers or the true joy of discovery in science I'm not too sure- I'm hoping it's the latter! I have found the most valuable resource to guide me and my students in this adventure- www.sciencebuddies.org. A great resource for projects, it gives tips for teachers and allows the students to take a quick survey to guide them in their project choices.
One thing we are working on in this project is to make sure we are not doing a demonstration (ie building a volcano) and focusing more on the process of an fair test in which only one variable is changed. I can't wait to show you all what they are doing. I can tell you that some will involve worms, catapults, and boats (not necessarily together :))
