We will go to computer lab Friday to generate topics & fill out TERM sheet

Closure- next to due datesWrite down THREE specific things you can do

to stay on top of due dates for science fair

BellworkSit with your lab group!

1.Read the Haters article (DO NOT WRITE- class copy)

2.What was the treatment in this experiment?3.What did they measure?4.What was their conclusion?

5.Bring up your BW & the article to stamp & turn in.

6.Begin googling possible questions from your favorite (starred) categories in the science fair packet example “Chemistry high school science fair questions” or “Behavioral science high school science fair questions” etc. etc. etc.

TodayBring a list of 3-5 possible science fair questions

to Ms. D

Ms. D will star HS level Qs & give you a TERM sheet

Fill out TERM sheet & turn in (due today)

Start research plan if finished early

BellworkSit with your lab group!

1.Do NOT log on to computer yet. 2.Which part of TERM is the independent

variable?3.Which part of TERM is the dependent variable?4.What is a constant variable?5.In what format do we write a hypothesis?

6.Bring BW (& jackrabbits lab if you took it home) & come get stamped

7.While waiting for others to finish BW- look over the critter assignment & pick the three sections you want to do. Start the outline for those three sections.

Critter Project (Bio 1-2)Pick THREE of the five requirements (mixture of

drawings & writing)

If you pick #4, you also MUST do #2 because they are related

Complete outline for the 3 you picked (HW this weekend unless you finish in class today!) Mon- write rough draft after science cafeTues- type final draft in computer lab & continue

science fairThurs- critter DUE!

Today1. Finish the (yellow) research proposal- due

today @ 9:15More detail = more likely to be approved by the HS science review committee!

2. Finish the front page of your science fair rough draft packet (finish today & come get stamped)

3. Work on the outline for your next critter assignment (going to computer lab Tuesday to type up final draft, due next Thursday)
