In my class, we have Science Fair Friday! Many Fridays, we take some time (sometimes the whole class period) to discuss what everyone should be doing with their science fair project and how they are making progress.
My Teaching Philosophy on Science Fair
The start of the school year. But not really. (Students start their projects over the summer.)
Mentoring Many Research Projects (How to keep students on track.)
Science Fair: Timeline. When should you have deadlines and checkpoints through the year so that students get sleep the weekend before science fair?
Adults are involved in many roles in science fair projects.
