Science Fair
• Your Science Fair (SF) is due on December
8th.
• You will present your SF presentation
December 8th – 10th.
• You may work individually or in teams of 2
or 3.
Science Fair Folder
• Each student, regardless if you are in a team
or not, is responsible to complete the SF
folder and outline.
• We will be working on the SF project in
small portions every week.
Posterboard vs. PowerPoint
• Most students/groups will make and present
a PowerPoint (PPT).
• Some students/groups will make a
Posterboard. Only Posterboards will go on
to the Science Fair.
• I will choose which SF projects will go to
the Science Fair.
Sorry, we are not going
to. . .
or dissect animals
(flowers, maybe)
Blow anything up
But we will . . . .
• Complete a Science Fair Project
• Have a TON of fun
Learn A LOT!*
* Pay CLOSE attention and be thinking Science & Engineering Fair topics as you
see the rest!
