Do you love science? If yes, then guess what’s coming up? The Mother Caroline Academy 2012 Science Fair! Here at MCA every year we have a science fair for all the grades fifth through eighth grade. A science fair is usually and generally a competition where students or contestants show and present their science project in the form of an experiment, report, or a display.
Every grade has a different topic. 5th grade is focusing on many different topics not just one, 6th grade is focusing on natural disasters, 7th grade is focusing on biology as their class topic, and 8th grade is focusing on chemistry as their class topic. Our deadline is on March 21, 2012 which is also the day of the actual science fair. We’ve been working very hard for everything with research and we’re very excited for this occasion.
On March 21, 2012 at 2:20 is when the entire event will start. Judges will be there to judge our projects, parents will be there, teachers, and the students/ participants will be attending this event. When there, the students have to explain what their topic is and how they did it. They have to explain their topic, why they chose the topic, and they have to end the presentation. There is a process to the science fair. First you have to choose a topic. Then you have to answer some questions that are asked by the teacher such as: “What do you know about this topic?” or “Why did you choose this topic?” After that, you have to make a plan letter to your teacher and see if your project is an experiment or survey etc. You also have to make a logbook having all your research about the topic and your sources and so much more like listing your materials. Then your teacher will have these check-ins with you and she can let and accept you to do your project on your own.
As I said, there are many different topics and projects. For example, Nicole and Christine are doing Triboluminescence With Candy, Chrisann is Making Borax Crystals, I’m doing How is the Stomach Protected from the Stomach Acid, but not the skin?, and Jadyn is doing a Timing Belt.
I’m sure all the projects are going to surprise you very much, but we can’t tell you because you have to wait and see yourself. You’re the judge of this Science Fair.
Good Luck Everyone!
MCAEC Rocks!
