SCIENCE FAIR ON THURSDAY!
DUE TOMORROW: Beginning of Class: Project Summary, Log book
End of Class: Display Board
REMEMBER ORAL PRESENTATION FOR JUDGES*
Presentation to Judges
On the day of the science fair, you will be approached a number of times by a judge or group of judges who are excited to see what you did your project on. Follow this outline in order to give a proper presentation:
1) Smile and introduce your self and shake hands with the judge(s)
After this point the judges will ask you to tell them about your project. At this point you will be required to give a presentation that lasts around 3-5 minutes
The presentation will require you to tell the judges a variety of things regarding your project. You can either use your backboard as a guide or use cue cards. DO NOT STARE AT YOUR BACK BOARD AND READ IT WORD FOR WORD! Present in the following way.
2) State your title to the judges and tell them how you came up with the idea (introduction)
3) Discuss your main question (purpose) and what you believed your findings would be (hypothesis)
4) Explain the research you did to begin answering your question (background information). Use statements like: “I did some research on ____________ and I found out that ___________.” If you did a study, this section will make up the majority of your presentation and you will not include step 5.
5) Discuss how you set up your experiment or innovation. (procedure)
6) Explain your findings by referring to your observations and data collected. (data and observations and conclusion) Make sure you refer to any charts, graphs, or photos you have to back up your results.
7) Explain how your project is significant to the world we live in and the people in society (significance) and discuss anything that may have gone wrong (sources of error)
8) feel free to add in any other interesting or important pieces of information that you think the judges would like to know.
At the end of your presentation, the judge(s) will often ask a few questions to either clarify something about your project or to find out further information. If you truly put in a good effort and worked hard, you will know the answer to these questions. In the case that you DO NOT know the answer DO NOT TRY TO MAKE UP AN ANSWER! When you are asked a question you are unsure of just be honest and let the judge(s) know that you are not sure what the answer to that question is.
Please read over this document and feel comfortable with it. Plan out your presentation in advance so you are ready for the day of the fair. Be confident and ready to let everyone know about the great work you did!
Science 7 & 8 - SCIENCE FAIR ON MARCH 19!!
Subway will be available! Money and forms due Monday March 16!

MARCH 17 & 18

** If students are following behind in timelines, I will have them stay in for lunch to work on assignment.
WHAT HAS TO BE HANDED IN:
1. Log book: a science fair journal used to keep track of all research, ideas, questions, and action taken during your project. The log book is a binder where documents can be easily added.
2. Project Summary: A report that is approximately 3-6 pages long that describes the scientific method that you went through to complete your project. It contains a number of things outlined later in the page.
3. Backboard and Display: A backboard made of coroplast or wood must be constructed to display a shortened version of your project summary. A backboard must be eye catching but not distracting! Other important aspects of your project can be brought to display at your table.
4. Presentation: When being judged or viewed by members of the public, you must have a presentation ready. A presentation is a verbal explanation of your project. Do not read directly off of your backboard, but use it as a guide. Some people use cue cards!
PROJECT SUMMARY IS MADE UP OF:
A project summary will outline the scientific method:
1) Title Page: It is a good idea to have a catchy title that will attract someone to your project. Underneath your catchy title should be a scientific title of your project. The title page should also display your name, grade, and school.
2) Introduction: A section that outlines how or why you decided to do the project. The introduction usually contains basic information about the topic or some common beliefs about the topic.
3) Purpose: This is the initial question you thought of. A purpose is always worded in the form of a question. The rest of your project is based on trying to answer this question!
4) Hypothesis: Before any experimentation is done you must hypothesize (or guess) what the answer to your question might be. Make this guess based on what you already know or what you think.
5) Background Information: This is also known as research. You must research all the different aspects of your project in order to make sure you are familiar with the topic. For a study, this will make up the majority of your project.
6) Materials: A list of everything you may need to use during your experiment or innovation. A list of materials is not needed for a study.
7) Procedure: A step-by-step process of all the steps you go through during your experiment or the building, use, and testing of your innovation. A procedure is not usually needed for a study.
8) Data and Observations: During your project you must record all the results. If you do an experiment, you are going to have to record all the data for all the different variables you test. Data is usually recorded in a chart and best displayed in charts, pictures, graphs, etc.
9) Conclusion: After all the tests are done, you must decide on what the answer to your question is based on all the evidence you collected. A conclusion will contain your answer and how that answer compared with your hypothesis.
10) Sources of Error: During a science project, there is a possibility that something might contribute to inaccurate results. This is a list of any of those things.
11) Significance: Every project you do will have some significance to society and the world we live in. You project will probably have a direct significance to you. This section is a discussion on how your project is significant or how the findings could be significant.
12) Future Directions: No project is ever complete. There is always a way that you could keep your project going by doing more or further testing or changing it slightly to involve other variables. This section describes those possibilities.
13) Acknowledgments: During a project you may have to talk to professionals or get help from someone. This section is a list of all the people that made your project possible.
14) Bibliography: It is very important that you source all the places where you got information. This includes books, magazines, the internet, people, and others. The bibliography must be done in APA style.

Welcome to Grade 8 Science! I am excited to join the Dalmeny staff as your science teacher in the upcoming school year! I find many students learn best through visual and hands on learning, therefore, I am planning on utilizing those teaching methods in your science class.
The four sections in the Saskatchewan Curriculum for grade 8 science include:
1) Life Science: Cells, Tissues, Organs and Systems
2) Physical Science: Optics and Vision
3) Physical Science: Forces, Fluids and Density
4) Earth and Space Science: Water Systems on Earth
I hope to do a lot of planning this summer to make your class exciting and interesting.
I look forward to seeing you in the fall!
Ms. Yedersberger
