It's That Time Again!!!!

     Good morning or good afternoon (depending what time of day you are reading this post) I hope all is well with you and your families.  I know its been a while since I posted on the Science Lab Blog, many apologies but the highly anticipated December post is here! HOORAY!!!!  It is December so people are preparing for Christmas, the upcoming New Years, and of course their Science Fair Projects.  Most schools host their Science Fairs in late January or early February; well to help my readers prepare for their Science Fair I am dedicating my next blog entries to all things Science Fair!

        Students, you should be familiar with what a science fair project is, but just in case you still have some question, here is a YouTube video explanation.  By now my Blue Ridge Students should have completed their Purpose and Hypothesis for the Project.  Remember students the Purpose of your project is a short 1 or 2 sentence statement regarding what you are investigating for you project.  For example, "The Purpose of this experiment is to determine which balloon makes the hovercraft hover longest" (Taken from Dominic V. 2013)  Notice that this purpose statement is short precise and to the point.  I like the fact that this student started of this purpose statement with the sentence stem "The Purpose of this experiment....."  Remember students your purpose statement must detail what you are trying to figure out AND must be something you can investigate to find the answer to.  Keeping with that same purpose here is an appropriate hypothesis, "I believe the hovercraft with the largest balloon will hover the furthest."  Again, this statement is short precise and to the point.

          Alright my faithful readers, my next post will be about the Material and Procedure portion of your project. Until next time, Peace, Love, and SOOUULLL = )
