Block 2 Students

You should begin your project this week.  This Friday is the due date for your topic/hypothesis to be turned in.  Please scroll down and look at some of the previous posts for information and helpful websites.  Please talk to Mr. Rowden or Mrs. Gendron if you have any questions.

Block 1 Science Students

You should be well on your way to finishing your research paper.  Friday is the assigned day for the research paper to be completed.  The paper should be 4 to 8 typed pages.  See the Science Fair packet for more information.  Be sure to save a digital copy of your final draft.

When your research is complete, you should start working on your materials, procedure and experiment.  Have your logbook ready so that you can start making entries as you plan and conduct your experiment.

Special Approval

The deadline for special approval has been extended to October 19th.  Read the following to see if your project requires special approval:

"ALL projects which deal with the following conditions or test subjects MUST be submitted for review and approval before students initiate projects.

·         All microorganisms whether known or unknown, or any potential pathogens

·         Non‐human vertebrate organisms including all cells, tissue, body fluids, embryos or fetuses, and eggs (indicate gestational age),

·         All human subjects (including all human cells, tissue, body fluids and all behavioral science projects)

·         Prescription drugs, alcohol, tobacco product and any other restricted or controlled substances,

·         Potentially hazardous biological or chemical materials/substances,

·         Recombinant DNA technologies,

·         Potentially hazardous equipment, devices or practices such as those dealing with firearms, explosive materials, radiation."

Projects Ideas

If you are still in search for the perfect project, here is a link to some interesting ideas.  You can search by topic.  Be sure to look at high school level projects.  Add your own ideas to make the project your own.

Block 1 Science Students Hypothesis

The hypothesis for all Block 1 students is due this week.  After your teacher approves your project, you need to turn in your hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable and control.  You should type this and save it on your computer.  This will be part of the final project folder. 

The following image shows what this page should look like in your folder.  See the Hypothesis section of the Information Packet for the correct format for each section.

Special Forms

Don't forget to check out the the Special Forms section.  There is a form wizard that will guide you through which forms are needed to have the opportunity to participate in the GNOSEF Science Fair.  These forms are due by October 13 for both Block 1 and Block 2 students.  The forms can be given to Mrs. Gendron or Mr. Rowden.

Display Board Ideas

The folllowing link gives some great information on the Display Board needed for your project.
