Research Associate, Energy, Environment, and Resources Center, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN 37831-6335. USA. TEL: 615-574-0390. FAX: 615-574-2232. The books share a common introduction explaining the purpose and design of science fair projects, and serves as a good overview of expectations. These introductions provide brief guidelines for putting a science project together: constructing a three-panel on which to display your project, constructing and maintaining a journal to take notes and record observations, practicing an oral presentation, and what criteria judges will be looking for in competitive fairs. I have served as a judge for a number of regional science fair competitions and I emphasize what I feel is the most important aspect presented in these introductions - time management. The budding scientist must allow enough time for their project. As author VanCleave tells, trying to assemble an overnight project results in frustration, and you cheat yourself out of the fun of being a science detective. Solving a scientific mystery, like solving a detective mystery, requires planning and careful collecting of facts.” I add two personal observations: I have seen many otherwise excellent project ideas downgraded out of competitive range for the very apparent lack of adequate preparation in performing and presenting the project. More importantly careful allocation of time instills a discipline that is needed to pursue quality scientific endeavors at any level.

63. OFK - Careers In Optics own and with my students in their science fair projects. science and technology teachersare always trying to new laboratory activities and projects to teach http://www.opticsforkids.org/career/car_latham.cfm

Career Profile: Bob Latham Teacher and Research Lab Manager, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology I manage a teaching and student research lab called the Optics and Modern Physics Lab at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, a specialized technical magnet school. The position is somewhat unique in that this may be the only lab dedicated to optics and modern physics at the high school level. My teaching responsibilities include an elective course in optics and another course in modern physics. Most of the time, however, I supervise twenty or more student research science fair projects working with laser systems, fiber optics, visual perception, imaging science, and other related areas. My first inspiration in optics (and in science) was provided by my father. He was a commercial artist by profession, yet he held a remarkable understanding and appreciation of nature, the physical universe, and technology. He often enjoyed taking me outside at night to share amazing views of stars, planets, and the surface of the moon using a small telescope. The magnified views provided by the telescope added a surprising sense of realism to these celestial objects and I often wondered what it would be like to actually be in those distant places. At that time, our elementary school provided a "science kit" in a heavy wood box that contained lenses, a prism, and a variety of other science demonstration apparatus. My fifth grade teacher simply allowed us to explore how the all of the mysterious devices worked. It was then that I realized I wanted the study of science to play a major role in my life and profession.

Co-hosted by the American Institute of Physics Education Division, this program continues to draw students from diverse backgrounds. This year we integrated our homeschooling program into the student science conference. Two homeschooled students competed with students from Sligo and Kettering Middle schools. Dr. Gary White from the American Institute of Physics also presented a mini-workshop on spandex to the participants, their parents, siblings, and guest. The conference is designed around the student's science fair project. Students learn to communicate their scientific research by presenting papers and talks to teachers, parents, mentors and friends. Preparation involves: 1) a workshop, 2) one-on-one mentoring with MRSEC members at UMD and 3) the conference presentation. This year's program was a wonderful event and the students worked extraordinarily hard. Everyone was impressed with the student's poise and professionalism.

Homeowners: Apply to refinance even with imperfect credit Home Search Links ... Judging Sheet Example Teacher's resources: Teaching the Scientific Method: Have your students apply the six steps of the scientific method to different questions. Example questions: Do crickets prefer light or dark? Will ice sink in water? Which will a nail rust faster in? Salt water or tap water? Do earthworms prefer their soil moist or dry? Use simple questions which your students will be able to solve with your help. This is just preparation for the real thing - the Science Fair project, where they get to use this tool, the scientific method, to solve their own questions. Once your students have found some questions, have them form hypotheses. A hypothesis for the first example question would be "I think crickets prefer light to dark". If you make the hypothesis the opposite of what you expect, you will be more objective when collecting the results of your method. Figure out a method to prove your hypothesis. In the example above, the class might tape a cardbord wall with a doorhole for the cricket into the center of a small box. A piece of cardboard can be taped over one side of the box to create a dark 'room' for the cricket. Some mosquito netting can keep the cricket inside the box. Have the class place the box directly under a strong light for some hours. Your students should observe the result and write it down. Repeat the experiment with several crickets in the box at once. Have the students write down that result.

2003 Ventura County Science Fair Presented by: Ventura County Superintendent of Schools Teacher's Information PLANNING A SCIENCE FAIR - TIPS ORGANIZATIONAL TIMELINE 1. Check with master calendar for possible dates from late January to early March. If you plan it earlier, winners will have a chance to make changes to improve entries for County competition. You will need: 1/2 day for set-up. 1 day for judging. 1 day for display and take-down. 2. Inventory available table sizes. 3. Check room availability. 4. Discuss with administration. 5. Don't be afraid to start small one class per school at a time. Decide early how many students you can handle. 6. Decide whether projects will be mandatory, voluntary, individual, group (size of groups), or a combination. 7. Get support of other teachers. Math teachers can help with statistics and graphing; English teachers with research as well as written reports; Art teachers could help with displays and illustrations; and even Social Science teachers could help with the historical perspective of the research. 8. Set up committees for such things as logistics of your fair including location, volunteers for set-up and take-down, judges, community resources, awards, publicity, etc.

Our science fair projects are designed to give students the guidelines they need to complete the task yet still leave room for them to develop their own problem solving methods. The science project blueprints provided on this site are intended to help students plan and carry out experiments using the scientific method. They provide suggestions and tips, enabling students to solve problems themselves. Each science fair blueprint is presented with sequential step-by-step guidelines which encourages the student to work in an organized and well planned manner. The purpose in most cases for creating a science project is to teach students how to solve problems on their own using the scientific method. For this reason, the instructions presented here do not specifically tell the student how to carry out the experiment, but rather, provide tips to think about as they plan their own strategy, research, record data, and draw conclusions. Each science fair project blueprint includes information on the scientific method, lab reports, and creating displays. Younger students may wish to skip over these sections if they are merely wanting to create a simple project without having to understand the scientific method.

Join our email list CLICK HERE Add to Bookmarks Search this site! Interact One of my favorite resources is a company called Interact. They publish a variety of interactive simulations for all ages although the bulk of them are at the upper elementary and Jr.. high level. The following is a cut and paste from a recent email post I wrote about Interact: I have been a big proponent of role playing/simulations and I am a little envious of those of you in middle schools and high schools because there is so much out there for you to use. However, even at the fourth grade level I have found a few valuable and worthwhile activities. INTERACT, a company out of California publishes a variety of well planned out role playing/simulations for all grade levels. They have a large variety to choose from in the areas of geography, world history, American history, government and economics. There are many I have wanted to try but are not appropriate for my age level. Heritage Heritage is a simulation of research and travel to American historical sites. Students travel across America visiting national parks and historic sites which introduce them to important events and periods in our history. Students use geography and map skills, keep travel logs, write diary entries and presents oral and written research projects on the significant sites they have visited. The first team that has visited 15 sites and reaches Bangor, Maine is the winner. I use this at the end of the 3rd quarter to wrap up our study of U.S. Geography.
