Most of you are aware that students taking Earth Science for high school credit are required to participate in the Brighton Science Fair on Friday, May 4. This is going to be a great opportunity to showcase a private project for the public to see on the same day as the Choir Concert and Art Exhibit at Brighton! Students need to pick a subject they like, somewhere within the broad realms of science, and think about how they can display a particular invention, experiment, or series of experiments they perform. Here are a few guidelines:
I believe there will be a peer voting contest with some kind of prize for the winner! Time, effort, and creativity will be rewarded! Earth Science students will be required to form an actual hypothesis, make a plan to experiment, collect data and analyze it, etc. An official lab report will also be required as part of the end product. The first step is making sure they picked a subject they are interested in...it does NOT have to do with Earth Science! Do they take things apart around the house? Do they spend all their free time programming computers? Do they have a secret passion for electricity, veterinary medicine, rocketry, or other scientific hobby? Picking the right subject area will help them create a quality project.
