Dear Parents and students,

We have begun studying heat.  This week the students will design their own experiment and then record the data and results. I am excited to see the brilliant projects they imagine!

We will also be working on the science fair and stem fest projects until February.  Keep in mind that your student should probably work on their experiment or project over the break.  The final paper will be due in January and the powerpoint will be due soon after.

The science fair will be virtual this year.  That means we will be using powerpoint and potentially video instead of the elaborately decorated boards. Please keep this in mind before you spend the money!

A website has been produced which has all the available information on the Science Fair and STEM Fest for this year. I was told that some people could not view this website but I believe it has been fixed so everyone can see it now. There are links to the directions and templates for the the science fair template as well as the templates for the research papers on the site.
