Thank You Students and Parents

Posted in 7th Grade, 8th Grade at 11:14 am by slesscience

Hello Students and Parents,

I wanted to thank you for all of the great science fair papers that were turned in this week.  I know it took a lot of hard work, but that was a huge step towards finishing up your science fair work for the year.  Next step will be your abstracts.  They are due next Wednesday!

The world’s most helpful (and dull) science fair PowerPoint

Posted in 7th Grade, 8th Grade at 11:58 am by slesscience

Students and Parents,

I made a PowerPoint that shows exactly what goes in each section of the science fair lab report. It differs slightly from what was in the SF packet, but it is a little bit easier to read. Sorry that there are no fancy graphics. I wanted to keep it simple.

UPDATE!!!

SCHOOL SCIENCE FAIR COMPETITION WILL BE NOVEMBER 20 not Nov 21
