January+2nd,+2013+Assignment

SCIENCE FAIR WEB PAGE LINK __** Welcome back to LAMS and Happy New Year!!! **__

Today, you will use the library to help you gather information for your Science Fair Project. Your assignment over the vacation was to find a topic you were interested in for this project. Mr. Blum and Ms. Rohs (6-321) will be coming around to talk to you today about your topic, will help clear up any confusion you have, and will begin to approve topic choices. Your topic is approved ONLY with a teacher signature in your "Jake."

In the mean time, you will use pages 8 and 9 in "Jake" to write down interesting information about your topic. You will also work on coming up with a "Question/Problem" you'll be trying to test out. Use the internet links found in Mr. Blum's web site and the books in the library to gather information.

// *Remember to write down ALL sources (web sites too) you use today because you WILL need to include a bibliography.* //

// For example: //

// Your topic: Plant fertilizer // // A possible question: What is the best fertilizer for tomato plants? //

// Information Gathered: What is in fertilizer? What is the difference between fertilizers? What is Phosphorus and the other ingredients in fertilizers? What else would I need to know to make a great Hypothesis? //
