Science this term is a Science Fair Project. There are three possible projects to choose from (although I recommend choosing something different from last time): Experiment, Study or Innovation. The most important thing is to choose what to do and not to change projects mid way through. Your project must be approved by both the teacher and principal and must follow the code of ethics.

Jan 22, 2023- Several ideas should be generated and the project idea is defined. Please use your Google Doc to record information and add all of your work into your project book.
