SFD1: Science Fair Topic Selection / Analysis

Posted by E Monday, October 8, 2012

Today 10/9/2012 we will be analyzing various topics that can be applied towards your science fair project!

You have already received the Junior Academy Science Fair Packet. Remember to look at the due dates for each part of your projects. Additionally, make sure you are aware of the total requirements for choosing a project / topic.

Getting Started with a topic: "MY TOPIC" 3rd Page in packet. By the end of class you should be able to identify your general topic and perhaps your actual experiment. However, take your time looking at possible projects. Think to yourself:

  1. Does the general topic and experiment interest me?
  2. Can I remain focused on the topic / experiment for multiple weeks?
  3. Can I get the resources for the experiment?
  4. Do I understand or think I can learn the concepts behind the experiment?
  5. Can I explain the science and concepts behind the experiment to someone who might not understand?

For Topics and Links. All links are accessible outside of the school's network. There is no immediate need to write down the URLs for the sites given to you since you can access it from --> furlanscience.blogspot.com
