Final Science Project
Project Due Date: June 4, 2012
Who: 7th
Grade Science Students
What: Typed Lab
Report, Graph, Experiment and Oral Presentation
Where: At Home and
School
When: May 21-June 4,
2012
Why: To demonstrate
an understanding of Earth Science while utilizing the steps of the Scientific
Method to solve a problem.
How: Research,
Prepare Rough Draft, Final Typed Report with Graph, Mini-Experiment
demonstration and brief oral presentation to class
1.
Students will research a topic in Earth Science
that deals with Weather, Climate, Atmosphere, Earthquakes, Volcanoes or the
Environment. All topics will be selected
in class and must be approved before beginning project.
2.
Students will try
to solve a problem like a Scientist would while using the steps to the
Scientific Method. (Problem,
Observations, Hypothesis, Data/Test Hypothesis, Analyze Results, and
Conclusion)
3.
Students will further
analyze results by utilizing the website http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ to present data to the class
4.
Students will
create a rough draft to be proofread in class and will discuss their experiment
in advance with the teacher.
5.
A final typed lab
report, graph with source listed and mini-experiment should be completed by
June 4, 2012. All students will be
expected to give a brief oral presentation (overview of their topic), discuss
their graph and demonstrate their experiment for the class. Students must be prepared with all materials
needed to present to the class.
This
project will count as a 2nd Test grade and towards 30% of your
overall grade. Do your best work and
have fun with this project. Please see
me if you have any concerns.
