Science Fair

Students should be at the experiment portion (step 7) of their science fair project.  Many students will be doing this phase of the project at home.  Others will need to conduct their experiments at school.  If you have any questions on how you can support your son or daughter during the experiment portion of the project, please email me (rdecicco@mtsd-vt.org)

Many students would benefit by staying after school with me to work on their project.

All students are expected to incorporate teacher feedback on their: 1) testable question, 2) hypothesis, 3) materials list, & 4) procedure by reworking these parts of their science fair project as needed.
