More Trifold Information

We are ordering Tri-folds during the first week of January and art putting in our order January 9th. Please ensure you have contacted a Science Fair Coordinator to let them know you will be purchasing a tri-fold and will be giving them payment in cash, online through your CBE account, or by cheque made out to the school. 

Tri-folds

If you are competing in the City Science Fair (only gr. 5/6 students) then you will require a tri-fold! We have some extra ones, but we are going to order more. Please let me know if you will require one. they are 60 X 96 inches so that's approximately 150cm x 240cm! 
They cost  $13.37 each + GST   so in total you pay $14.05 exactly. Please email me below if you require a tri-fold. We must abide by the City Science Fair guidelines in order for your project to count.
Payment can be in cheque or cash and handed to either Ms. Wright, Ms. Toupin or Ms. Yong.

Please email me if you would like a tri-fold. We will have a list of students who would like one and will be asking on Dec. 13th if you need one. Payments must be made a.s.a.p!

Bibliography Tips

•   Underline a title
  
•   If a book or other material does not have an author, use the title in place of the author’s last name. One-page articles and encyclopedia articles do not need numbers.
  
•   List entries in alphabetical order
  
•   Indent the second line and double space between entries

Inquiry Project (Alternate Choice to a Research or Experiment Project)

If you still love Science, but you are looking at the deadline and feel that maybe you just won't have enough time to create a Research or Experiment Project why not still do an Inquiry Project? An inquiry project is when a group of students (pair) or a student investigate a question, issue, problem or idea. 

We often call these Passion Projects. These projects still involve research, but how you present your learning is up to you!
For example, if you care about the environment and you're interested in plants you could create a mini-garden to show your learning you can! What about exploring the Science behind baking? You can bring in samples to help you explain the chemical reactions within baked goods....yummy! How about Want to show your love of robotics? Create a presentation to demonstrate something you built and explain why you like robotics. The possibilities are endless! Your Inquiry Project just needs to be related or connected to Science. 

Other options in showing your learning are creating a Google Slide, Poster, a video demonstration your learning or a tutorial you would share.

Remember because it's still research you can still reference your sources, and create and draw diagrams too. Use the resources below to help you  :)



STEP 1 Start to Research



STEP 2 Keep recording your resources that you use!



STEP 3 (Choose the Journal or Story Strip, but it should have the same amount of information!)
