Tuesday, February 2, 2016 5:30-8 p.m Why participate in the Science and Engineering Expo? The Science and Engineering Expo is a great way for students to learn through communication, both oral and written, teamworkand design. The Science and Engineering Expo provides students with an opportunity to explore "real-world" science and engineering discovery through actual hands-on experiences. Middle School students in grades 6,7, and 8 as well as High School students have an opportunity to participate in the State Science and Engineering Fair. This is great exposure for students High School Students can put this experience on a college application or resume. This isa great way to stand-out to colleges and universities. Students can take something they are currently working on in class, develop it, and use it as an experiment or design at the Expo. What will it involve? Students will engage in researching and selecting a topic/solve a real world problem. Students will design an experiment or prototype. Students will draw conclusions from their experiment or test their prototype and redesign. Students are required to keep a science/engineering journal to track their process. Students must create a display board to present their findings. HAVE FUN! Learn a lot! Help Sessions Available ‘Students can use Seminar time at the Middle School and Enrichment time at the High School. Community members, scientists and engineers will be available as mentors for students. Those will be some support sessions held after school. Students’ teachers will provide support as they go through the process oftheir experiment or design. ENGINEERINGTuesday, February 2, 2016 5:30-8 p.m. From what areas of science can students Select their project? The important part of selecting a topic is finding one that interests the student(s). Students will spend a lot of time with this topic- performing experiments, collecting data, writing in their journals and creating an attractive display. Students should find something that interests them. Topics can come from the following science and engineering disciplines: Earth Science Life Science Physical Science Arts and Music Sports and Health ‘Human Behavior Building a prototype to solve a problem Ideas for projects can be found on the following websites: http sciencebuddies.org! httpwwrwip.oradiwprojectguide) |ttp:/mathforum.orgiteachers/mathproject. html http wwrweducation.com/science-fait/ Remember to follow the For More aa Information: Traditional Science Projects * Asks a question: An online platform has been * Develops a hypothesis created to provide students and * Uses testing to attempt to families resources for those interested in the Science and Engineering Expo.
