This is just a quick reminder that the Sheffield Science Fair is approaching fast. Classroom Projects: Classroom projects start in late September. The class selects a meaningful question that can be researched. The meaningful question should also require an experiment including data collection as a means to practice the Scientific Method. Classroom projects will be completed by the end of October. These projects will be on display for our annual "Science Night". Science Night will be on Thursday, October 23. Individual Projects: Students will begin their projects on October 23, 2008 and are due on November 17, 2008. Packets regarding projects will go home on Thursday, October 23. Students will be required to present and explain their projects to their classmates. The best 3 projects from each homeroom will be selected to participate in the school wide Science Fair . Projects will be selected according to the judging criteria in the child's Science Fair packet. Official judging of the Science Fair will take place on November 20 with the winners announced that evening. The official judges for the science fair include elementary, middle and high school teachers, USI Science experts, and community members. Remember, all students in grades 3-5 are REQUIRED to complete a Science Project. This includes an experiment with a backboard, data, and an oral presentation. This is not to be confused with a research project. Students must answer a question by doing an experiment (using the Scientific Method). Criteria for a good Science Project: A good Science Project consists of the following:
