Science Fair Time!

It's our favorite time of year--Science Fair time! Science Fair is a school-wide activity where students learn the rules of scientific method and using precise skills and tools to find the answer to a science-related question. In 5th grade students work alone to create their science fair project. In class we will be working specifically on ideas/topics for science fair, completing the written part of the project, research the topic using the internet, and assembling the board.
Today we began our Science Fair process by generating ideas in class.

Here are some websites to help generate ideas:
www.all-science-fair-projects.com

www.sciencebuddies.org

You can also try Google for ideas by typing in "Science Fair Projects for Elementary School."
I have a board in the classroom filled with ideas for science fair projects that anyone is welcome to look through. Ideas are due by January 20th (Friday). If you have any questions about what topics/ideas are aloud, please email me or stop by to chat about it.
