We've finished our Body Systems unit of study and will be starting a unit on the Scientific Method in preparation for my favorite time of year SCIENCE FAIR!!! This year's projects are due Wednesday, February 1st....seems like a long way off, but time goes quickly, so it's important to start planning now.
Over the next few weeks, students will be learning the steps of the scientific method and conducting investigations in class using this particular method of inquiry. We'll be using the computer lab to explore topics for projects and gathering research on those topics. The projects will be completed at home.
Please join us for our special guest speaker, Mrs. Linda Martin, Monday, December 5th at 1:30 in the Eagles Nest. Mrs. Martin has been a science teacher in the Big Walnut Schools and is a coordinator of our local Science Fair, held at the high school each year. She will be giving students ideas on how to do a quality project as well as give them some examples of projects that have been done in the past.
BWE fifth graders will have our own Super Spectacular Science Fair Wednesday, February 8th in the fifth grade classrooms. More details to come.
Look for Science Fair packets of information to come home at the end of the week!
