(11/18)  Many thanks to those of you who have already volunteered to judge the Science Fair!  We are still in need of more judges, so please email me at tanguayscience@verizon.net if you are able to help.  NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!!!   Judging will be held from 12:00 - 4:00 (if necessary - I would like to have it done earlier, if possible), but if your schedule doesn't work with those times, other times can be arranged.  Feel free to bring a friend~   :o)
 

(11/16)   Backboards are in!  Students have been purchasing backboards and can continue to do so each day during class.  The cost of the board is $3.00 and it will be available to go home the day it is purchased.

All classes have thoroughly reviewed backboard and abstract writing.  A guideline has been handed out as well.

All students have been given a presentation date.  Students must bring the following to class on the day they present:

• poster board (which should have the abstract and lab report on it)
• any physical project 
• copy of the research paper 
• an EXTRA copy of abstract
• an EXTRA copy of lab report (if applicable)

.  ALL PROJECTS MUST COME IN AND GO HOME THE DAY THE STUDENT PRESENTS AND MUST COME BACK THE DAY OF THE FAIR.
 

(11/6)  Mrs. Lavioe has ordered backboards... They will be in as soon as Miller Corrugated has them ready!  I will let students know the cost as soon as possible.

In class presentations will be held during the week of Thanksgiving break as well as the week of the Science Fair.  Students will be assigned a day to present, at which time the research paper, backboard and the project/lab must be completed and ready for grading.  Please encourage your child to continue working and to see me if they have any questions.  I am in my room nearly every day by 7:00am, during lunch/recess and can be available after school with notice.  I can also be reached by email at tanguayscience@verizon.net. 
 

         Students are off to a great start with their Science Fair projects!   Topics have been chosen and many students have begun projects and research.  Students with questions or concerns should continue to see me during lunch, email me (tanguayscience@verizon.net) or make an appointment to visit with me before or after school.

       All students received instruction on how to write the research paper, including proper format for citations using MLA.   Mrs. Brusic and I both felt that learning other styles of citation are unecessary at this time as the students' level of research is at a very early stage.  If your child has misplaced the worksheet that outlines the research paper, please have them see me as soon as possible.

       Research paper due dates:       Grade 8:  November 25th
                                                          Grade 7:  November 23rd
                                                          Grade 6:  November 20th

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SAVE A COPY OF THE RESEARCH PAPER ON YOUR COMPUTER.  I WILL BE MAKING CORRECTIONS ON THE COPY THAT IS HANDED IN AND A NEW, CLEAN COPY WILL BE NEEDED FOR PRESENTATION THE DAY OF THE FAIR!
