This Week in AP BIO (Jan 19-22)

 In AP Biology

Dear Parents and students,

Science Fair Update:

The Science Fair/ STEM Fest is quickly approaching.  Last week the final paper was due and this week the Science Fair powerpoints and the STEM Fest Projects are due!   It is important that the students do not fall behind or they will not be prepared to present their projects next week.  The week of the 25th the students will present their projects to their class.  I am really looking forward to seeing their brilliant creations!

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. 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.
