Cuyahoga Falls City Energy Science Fair (Projects due October 2nd)
The City of Cuyahoga Falls puts on a Science Fair for 5th graders throughout our district. This year the fair will be held on October 5th at the C.F. Library. Students do not have to be present to participate. In the past this event was on a volunteer basis, but this year I am making it a project that will be turned in and graded. All of our projects will be submitted and the top 5 will be selected to be on display at the city for their Energy Science Fair. There are no prizes for the top science fair project but everyone will receive a certificate signed by the mayor, a energy kit, a small prize.
The focus of this fair is Energy and following the Design Process (found on my website and or the Scientific Process (Method) to test a Hypothesis.
The directions are simple...Find a topic that has to do with Energy and develop an experiment that can be tested some how using numbers or measured. It can be an experiment found online or from a book. I just ask that you make it your own by changing a variable that forces you to come up with a new hypothesis. Use the links below to help you find a topic. The experiment can be SIMPLE!!! Science Buddies is a great site to get you started. When you choose the topic you must run it by me first. When you get the ok you may begin your experiment.
When you are finished you must complete a display board out of cardboard and follow one of the examples below. Your display board will be on display at our school and then at the Science Fair if you are one of the 5 selected. Be Creative!
I am here to help you. If you need supplies let me know and I will see what I can do.
What you need to include on the display board:
1. Title
2. Group names and Preston School 5-1 or 5-2
3. Purpose (What are you trying to figure out?)
4. Hypothesis (What do you think will happen/ predict)
5. Materials
6. Procedure ( Your Plan)
7. Results and data (Display it by using some type of graph)
8. Conclusion (What did you learn? Was your hypothesis correct?)
Any questions please ask me in class or give me an email. You can send me a message on Edmodo too.
