Today we had a presentation from Science East about STEM fair.  Students participated in activities to help them see how variables can be investigated to answer questions.  Students were able to share their topics for their STEM project and get some feedback and directions.  Expectations for district, provincial and national fairs were explained.

All projects are due February 20th for classroom presentation and grading.  The school showcase is February 26th from 12:30 to 2pm.  Parents are invited to come see the projects.

No math classes today due to presentation/workshop.

Science 8

-We had a lesson on observations today and notes were given.  See attachment for further explanations.  Time was given to work on applying this information to their project.

-Next week students should be ready with a draft of their report.  Conferences will be done to help edit and translate materials as needed.  Students are encouraged to take advantage of this extra help, by being prepared and ready to conference.  Since we are doing this project as a cross-curricular project, conferences will happen in science, math and French class.
