6. Minimum Requirements for Grade 5 Presentations (all of K-4 requirements plus the following): · choose or make up an experiment by forming a question to answer · create a standard or basic procedure before experimenting · create a controlled experiment, where only one variable is changed at a time · conduct the experiment at least three times · keep track of results in a chart · graph the results showing the independent variable as the x-‐axis (what I
learned) and the dependent variable as the y-‐axis (outcome) 7. Expectations the night of the Science Fair
A parent should plan on helping their child/team set their presentation up in the cafeteria during the setup time. The participants will need to be prepared to discuss their work with Fair attendees. Participants, parents and others will have the opportunity to walk around and discuss the presentations with the participants. It does not have to be a formal presentation. They need to be able to answer questions about their work, if asked. This is not a big deal, it is very conversational and not meant to be intimidating. Just have fun with it and enjoy yourself!
