STEM Fair

Just a friendly reminder that STEM Fair Projects and Research papers are due this Thursday, March 5th. The display board is worth 40 points (assessment grade) and the research paper is worth 30 points (assessment grade).
Scholars will be presenting their hard work to the class to show what they have learned from their experiment. 
The STEM project deadlines were established so they would not interfere with PARCC testing. 
** If your child's STEM Fair project did not produce results, the following is the only solution to result in not having an "E" on the 3rd quarter report card. STEM teachers have discussed this with administration and they have approved. 

Scholars may choose one of the following topics and adhere to the deadlines to receive credit for his/her STEM project. 

1.) Does color affect the rate in which an ice cube melts?

2.) What are the most common sums of two dice when rolled?

3.) What is the probability of reaching into a bin and selecting a particular color of 

M &M candy?

Deadlines

All components: Question, Hypothesis, Variables, Materials, Procedures, Data Collection Tool, Results (actual, graph, written explanation), Conclusion, Research paper and Display board due Thursday, 3/5
