Science Fair

This was a fun twist on a classic science fair. The challenges here stem from the fact
that this was all organized on the computer, while the experiment was done and
recorded in person. It is a whole different process to organize a science project and
display the scientific process and the data and results from the experiment virtually
rather than on a physical board. However, it also followed the same general structure
as any regular science project I did in school, so it was simple enough to just create
the same thing but virtually.

Standard 1.4.a: Students know and use a deliberate design process for generating
ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts or solving authentic problems.

I believe that doing this project digitally requires more time and effort, and thus would
be better suited for older students. However, that does not mean that younger students
cannot participate in science experiments and demonstrations online, but a big
research project like this would need more attention and guidance. Much like the other
projects in this class, the content of this project could easily be applied to any science,
as well as other subjects in general.
