Science Fair

• Your Science Fair (SF) is due on December 8th.

• You will present your SF presentation December 8th – 10th.

• You may work individually or in teams of 2 or 3.

Science Fair Folder• Each student, regardless if you are in a team

or not, is responsible to complete the SF folder and outline.

• We will be working on the SF project in small portions every week.

Posterboard vs. PowerPoint

• Most students/groups will make and present a PowerPoint (PPT).

• Some students/groups will make a Posterboard. Only Posterboards will go on to the Science Fair.

• I will choose which SF projects will go to the Science Fair.
