Science Links
The Science Fair is Friday, May 24, 2019!
When choosing a project for the science fair, please remember to choose a testable question. A testable question is one that can be answered by an experiment, with measurable results. It is not a survey ("Which ice cream flavor do you like best?") or a model, such a volcano or the solar system. The following are websites and documents that have interesting science fair projects involving testable questions:

Super Science Fair Projects
Science Fair Adventures
Free Science Fair Projects
Please remember that your experiment needs to be completed within 5 weeks, so choose carefully. No live animals may be used or brought to school. You cannot use people in your experiment without permission of your teacher, and then only to test physical movement or responses (no food experiments on your friends!)
Showboards and reasonable materials will be provided by the school. Please contact Mrs. Laff with any questions.
Have fun!
