All of you need to choose/create/design a final experiment for Science. Here are the criteria:
- You need to follow the Scientific Method Format: Final Experiment
- You may work alone, or with a partner
- You need to submit your Question, some Background Information and Materials' list to me for approval. Once you have approval, then you can proceed with your experiment.
- Work can be done at home and at school. If your experiment is to be done at home, then you need to make sure you have your parents' permission and supervision.
- You must submit all of your work on the Cloud.
- I expect you to do above and beyond just the 7 steps of the scientific method. A Title page, photos, diagrams, videos, interviews, links to useful websites, blogs, etc. are expected. IMPRESS ME!!!!
I expect:
- A final report: showing all steps taken in the scientific process (this can be done orally, in the form of a video, if approved by me first.)
- Oral presentation: 5 to 7 minute presentation to the class (can be done ahead of time and presented to the class, such as a YouTube video.)
