1- Parachute Power

2-Which parachute shape is holding longer up?

4-My hypotheses is that the square will stay longer up.

5-We are going to cut plastic bags in shape and tie a rope to an eraser and release it in the sky.

Before you start your experimentation, you are asked to share your project with the world!

1. What is your topic?

2.  Identify a problem and ask yourself a question.

 3. Usually, scientists do a background research about the subject and they gather information. But I think     keeping it a surprise will add some excitement to your project. So, next step!

4. Develop a hypothesis with your team. You don't need to agree though. If you don't, share every team member's hypothesis.

5. Design the experiment. Explain how you are going to find an answer to your question.

That'is it for today folks!

Thanks for sharing :)

Science Fair

In this brand new blog, you will be asked to provide the class with fun experiments that could be presented at the science fair, that will take place on March 27th.

Remember:

  • Experiments must be conducted in class. (No rocket launcher please!)
  • You must find  an experiment where finding the materials is not a big deal. It must be low budget too.
  • Your experiment can last a couple of weeks, but you need to be able to present it in a few minutes.
  • Last but not the least, we need to learn something out of this. (We all know water freezes in a freezer ;) )
Thanks for sharing!
