We have been a little busy this week working on our own personal Science Fair Projects! Totally designed, tested, built, and reported by students! I must say it was very, no, extremely hard not to get involved and make some corrections- BUT the purpose of this week was to allow them to experiment with the Scientific Process and then walk them through the steps (and needed corrections) when they present. In asking probing questions, they were able to see the error of their ways, and tell me how they could do better!
I've never seen girls eat melted chocolate so fast!!
This was the hardest part! Letting them assemble their boards! But.. all the parts are here, and we will work on perfecting this process for our school Science Fair!
I loved how professional this group was! When you walked up to them, they explained their survey, the steps you were going to do, and the flavors you were tasting!!!
Another great board put together only by the students!
Who does not love a jolly rancher? Would you prefer hard or soft?
Another student built board!
Melted crayons anyone? Let's see which brand melts the fastest!
Does the container in which you place ice cream make a difference on how fast it melts?
Making the data chart! I'm positively impressed by the computer skills of my kids! They are PROS!
Working on "framing" for our boards!
Ready to survey ... "Which sport do you prefer?"
We have 4 projects yet to present. It has been CRAZY with our testing schedule! But do not fear.. we have made it to the end and will be going full steam ahead on Monday :)
For a bit we will be combined in an effort to catch-up and make sure everyone is on the same page. Don't worry .. we will still have a 50/50 split on our dual language!
It's going to be an exciting year!
