Grade 9 Science Term Project

Grade 9 Science 105 and 106 have a term project due on February 26th. They have a choice of doing one of three projects; 1) Science Fair Project and participant in the SIS Science Fair on March 10th, 2) A Slide Show or Movie on a science topic of their choice or 3) A Working Model of Science where they create their own design challenge. All students have been given detailed information on this project. They can do the project alone or with one other science student. If students choose to do a science fair project, they are to follow the guidelines for science fairs found in the folowing link:http://stas.edu.pe.ca/english/sub.cfm?section+science This link will also provide ideas for science fair projects. Any student who wishes to do a science fair project must have their proposal in by January 29th. The SIS Science Fair will be on March 10th at the SIS Gym. The Provincial Science Fair is on March 30th, at UPEI. All projects (Design Challenge or Science Fair) must be in to Mrs. Caissy on or before February 26th. :)

Grade 8 Science Term Project

Science 206 and 205 term project will be due on Thursday, February 26th. Students can choose to do either a design challenge on Fluids or a Science Fair Project. For the Design Challenge they can do any one of the three design challenges from pages 134-135 in their science book. They must include a report following the scientific method with their project. Students can work alone or with one other student. Each project will be presented to their science class during the first week of March . A Science Fair Project can be an alternate choice. Students must follow the guidelines for doing a science fair project. Check out the following website for details and project ideas. http://stas.edu.pe.ca/english/sub.cfm?section=science Any student who wishes to do a science fair project must pass in their proposal by January 29th.
