Cast Party... Look for the Email.

In order to help celebrate the great accomplishment of the class throughout the Fear Fest process, we would like to throw a cast party.  I will be emailing permission slips to you tonight. We will be serving Little Cesar's Pizza, Smart Pop Popcorn and bottles of water.  Reply to the email if you would like your student to participate in the sustenance.  If not, lunch will be available as always from the school.

Sleepy Hollow Field Trip Tomorrow

Come prepared for the Sleepy Hollow Field Trip to the Irish American Heritage Center. http://irish-american.org/
We will be returning to school in time for lunch.

Science Fair Update

Science Experimenters:
Hypothesis and Purpose Statements due Thursday,  October 30th.  We'll go over this requirement tomorrow in class.
Procedure and Materials List due Tuesday, November 4th.

You may begin your experiments at any time.  However, all experiments should begin no later than Wednesday, November 5th in order to provide enough time to experiment and to document the results.

Design Project Engineers:
You may begin your Ideate Process.  You will be documenting 3 separate Ideate iterations using the slides provided.  The ideate process should take at least 1-2 weeks to complete.  You should spend at least 3 days on each idea.  We will model the process in class starting next week.  After the ideate phase is complete, you choose your best idea and build a prototype from the schematics you create during the ideate process.  The three ideas for the Ideate process should be completed by November 14th.

You do not have to wait for the due dates.  We will give guidance as a class during science. However, you are all on your own scientific journey.  You can work ahead if needed.  Be sure to give yourself enough time to complete each step of your process thoroughly.

Good luck!

Good luck.

A Study in Concentration

The Science of Fear... Coming Soon to 217.

Science Fair Update: 3 Resources and Citation Generators

Today we continued to gather our resources with Mrs. Biggs in LRC.  Remember, you will be gathering resources to help you

1. understand the science behind your project
2. define your problem or question
3. identify how your project/experiment impacts the world
4. support your scientific findings

Your three resources can be a website, magazine or newspaper article, scholarly journal, book, encyclopedia or other written form.

Here are some links to two different citation generators that will help you create your bibliography.
http://www.citationmachine.net/apa/cite-a-website
http://www.bibme.org/

Once you have your bibliography created,  you can publish it in one of two ways.

1. For experimental projects:  Print out a copy of your bibliography and bring it to school.
2. For design project engineers: Create a digital copy of your bibliography and attach it to the end of your design template on a newly created "Bibliography" slide.

This assignment is now due WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22ND.
