General Information

Hello everyone:

Welcome to the second semester!

 Hope you are all excited that it is time for our Science Fair program.

This time students are allowed to work individually and in groups.

 A couple of things to do:

 1. Project Topic:

                  - decide on your project topic.
                  - the sites/links below could be of help

                              www.education.com/science-fair
                              www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project

                  - you could also seek the advice of any of the science teachers if you are still unsure of 
                     what to do.

2. Display Board:

                 - As you collect information for your display board, make sure that the items featured
                   in the sample display board below should be part of your presentation.
