This Week in Biology (Nov 9-13)

 In Biology, Scholars Prep Science - 7th Grade

Dear Parents and students,

It is time to start thinking and working on the Science Fair and STEM Festival. Each year students produce projects that are highly creative and well thought out. The students will not have to present until after Christmas break,  but now is the time to start preparing.  Students who choose the Science Fair should keep in mind that they must develop a project that has a clear experiment with data.  The scientific method must be followed and all data must be clearly presented. It is suggested that the experiment they choose will have some real life application.  A website has been produced which has all the available information on the Science Fair and STEM Fest for this year. Students can access this site via the link below.
