Science Project Forms
Project ideas/resources
We discussed Science Projects again today. I am holding off on sending paperwork home until after the Science Fair Coordinator Meeting on Sept. 11.
Useful Science project links to help you brainstorm:
Periodic Table notes are below:
All Classes (Comp Sci/Phy Sci)
Today students got information about their science project requirement. See info below:
Science project options – 8th grade JLCP
All students at Julia Landon College Preparatory and Leadership Development School are expected to complete a science project. This year students in the eighth grade have two different options to fulfill the requirement – a competition and non-competition track.
The science project is an outside of school project which can take several weeks to complete. Students in both the competitive and non-competitive track will have to work outside of school to research a problem, design an investigation, & gather/analyze data.
| Competition Project | Non-Competition Project |
| An individual (or group*) project that follows traditional science project format:
· Identify testable question/engineering problem · Identify Variables/Hypothesis · Design investigation/Data Analysis/Conclusion |

| Research Plan required | No Research Plan required |
| Final project will be presented in class (PowerPoint) | Final project will be presented in class (PowerPoint) |
Eligible for entry to the school or regional science fair Note: Backboard will be required if a project is chosen to move to the regional science fair. |
Not eligible for school or regional science fair
Note: No backboard required. |
*Group projects can be no more than 2 students
Since this is a long-term project it will be broken into smaller parts with individual due dates. A calendar with deadlines will be given to students and posted on the class blogs. A “project handbook” for each option will also be available with detailed steps and rubrics.
Comp Sci 3/Phy Sci- Today students used the Asteroids & Dinosaurs article to trace the path that Dr. Alvarez took through the “How Science Works” Flowchart (see below).
Complete tracing Dr. Alvarez’ path through the flowchart. Due at the beginning of class Monday.
Comp Sci 3/Phy Sci
Students in all science classes will be taking the Comp Sci 3 baseline assessment. This test will not count as a grade, but the data will help us plan instruction throughout the year.
Welcome new Phy Sci students. I am looking forward to another awesome year in science!

P.S.- if we took a photo together send it to me via email
Our final Bridge to HS Bio topic is Macromolecules. This foldbook will be our final project grade for the year.
Students will have 2 class periods to complete the Properties of Water project
