Science Fair

This week I have conferenced with some of the Room 3 children and we have talked about their science fair experiments. Most children have ideas about what they are going to do and the next step for them is to ensure they write down their procedure and hypothesis.

Exploring the Internet, I have found some great websites that wi help the chidren in their research and writing their procedure. An important aspect is do not copy word for word the procedure. Please use your own words to write your procedure, research and so forth.

Example
Purpose


To demonstrate that bread mold spores are present anywhere and everywhere
Research

Bread Mold is a simple fungus which derives its food from a variety of materials such as grains, fruits, vegetables or flesh. Mold spores are tiny and usually remain suspended in air. As soon as it finds the right environment for it to grow, the spores transform into the living fungus.

Hypothesis

"Mold grows quicker at higher temperatures."

Room 3 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
