7A—Mr. Puzio

Parents and students:

Science Fair will be on April 23rd.

All students MUST have ALL components for their display:

Display boards

Journal

Photos

Research paper

Experiment

Judging will be conducted after school (students are not staying)

Students MUST return at 6pm and awards will start promptly at 6:30pm

All projects need to be collected at the end of the Awards Ceremony

All research papers, journals and photos MUST BE GIVEN TO Mrs. Vasil (6th-8th) and Mr. Puzio (5th grade)

Judges will score on :

Display board rubric

Scientific Method components:

Problem Question Hypothesis. Materials. Procedure. Data Graph Results and Conclusion

Please note: through the guidance of myself and Mrs. Vasil, we made it very clear that all Projects needed to be testable and not just a model. If it is only a model, with no proper data or graphing , points will be deducted.

and finally

Experiment

All of these components with judging will also be used for grading.

I would like to thank Mrs. Canal, Ms. Klein, Mrs. Miles, Mr. Kozemba and Ms. Ferrara for all the hard work in assisting and guiding the students these past few weeks. Without their commitment in assuring all student’s information and the components accuracy, this Science Fair would not be possible.

Mrs. Vasil and I are coordinating the Science Fair 2024.  Here is the information all junior high science classes will follow:

The Science fair is on April 23rd. All components MUST be completed prior so we can look over your information. The model should be brought in the morning of the 23rd, no later.

For your Science fair you will need:

Research paper (must be printed out)

Model/experiment ( all topics MUST be testable)

Science Fair journal

Small photo album ( can be pics clipped together or put as a collage) of you and your partner/group working on your model/experiment.

Display board: will be worked on in School only

Please make note that you will be working on this during classes the week of April 8th , so you MUST have all of the components typed up in a doc so Mrs. Canal and Ms. Klein can look it over.

We will be printing out the week of April 15th and we will work on the boards.
Materials needed:
scissors,
glue sticks
all printed pages
Subtitles

Subtitles should include: font size is approximately 48-52 (info size is around 36) (Ms. Klein will go over sizes)
Title
Hypothesis
Problem question
Procedure
Materials
Data table and Graph (this is a must)
Results
Conclusion
and pics of you and your group working on the model/lab (this is a must)

Please Note: The Science Fair counts towards multiple grade components so make sure each category is completed.
