Transcript TMP Science Expo PowerPoint

Please participate if you
are interested in STEM
or if you are interested
in getting extra credit
for a class.
You may work with a
partner.
Teachers who are offering
extra credit: Scott
Voorhies, Hilary Hale, Jody
LeFevers, Beth Roop, Sky
Tallman, Rebecca Birch,
Steve Rogers
Expo date: April 15th, 2016!
If you are participating for extra credit in a class...
• Decide what class you need/want the credit in (this can be cross curricular)
• Talk to the teacher about that class or classes and get your participation
approved
• Form a hypothesis or question and have your idea approved by Scott V. and
your teacher(s)
If you are participating for fun…
• Form a hypothesis or question and have your idea
• approved by Scott V. He’s an approachable guy.
Steps for Success...
• Submit a paragraph explaining your project to Scott
V. and your teacher(s) by December 10th
•
formatting instruction
• Submit a log that tracks the progress of your
experiment and contains reflections about the
process once every two weeks
•
you can use a journal, a GoogleDoc, a video log, etc.
• Create a final presentation and display board due
April 15th
•
board must include: a title and your name, problem statement
or project description, methods/procedure, materials, pictures
or graphs, results, discussion/analysis, conclusion, any
physical result
Examples...
• Biology: scan the life stages of a living organism, on the SEM, and explain
each stage in detail
• Environmental Science: print the parts for a wind turbine on the 3D printer
and assemble the turbine
• Economics: predict patterns of stocks using computer programs like
NetLogo, StarLogo, Python,C++, etc.
• English: extend your board for Hillary’s class, research (in depth) the history
of a book from her class and produce graphs with some data that you found
regarding that time period. Ex: “The
• Grapes of Wrath”. For this book research
• how many people lost jobs during that
• time, or the infant mortality during the
• depression
Examples...
•
•
•
•
•
•
History: program and track the effects of any war or disease on a
population
Geometry: print geometric shapes on the 3D printer (this requires
learning how to use SolidWorks)
Algebra: graphing or analyzing data
SciTech: build a model of the solar system using a program or using the 3D
printer
• Physical Science: track your average work
• done over a 10 day period, create a video
• example of this and voice over it
Lab Hours
• Scott V. and Chloe Puglisi will host lab hours
• Anyone can attend Tuesday or Thursday 3:30-4:30
in room 320
• Individual times can be discussed with either Scott or
Chloe for people who need help with:
•
learning a programing language
•
using how to use the SEM or 3D
•
printer
•
analyzing data
Remember
• This counts as extra credit for those who need it; you can get extra credit in
more than one class
• Entry paragraphs are due December 10th
• Everyone must keep a bi-weekly log
