Getting Started Choosing a Topic

•  Interesting to you! •  Something you have

a question about that is related to science

•  Pick a topic that you can answer only through an experiment

Page 5: STEM FAIR PROJECT - PGCPS€¦ · • Your STEM fair project will be graded as an assessment for science. • The research paper will be graded and part of your written communication

Guidelines for choosing a topic

•  Only primary grade students can do consumer projects

•  No Projects involving VERTEBRATES •  No Models like volcanoes, solar system •  No Bacteria Projects •  No mold projects

Page 6: STEM FAIR PROJECT - PGCPS€¦ · • Your STEM fair project will be graded as an assessment for science. • The research paper will be graded and part of your written communication

I can do all kinds of things for my topic in

•  Biology •  Physical Science •  Earth/Space Science •  Chemistry •  Technology •  Engineering •  Mathmatics

STEM FAIR is on April 13, 2017

•  Students at each grade level will be awarded first, second and third place

•  The 5 Students with the highest scored projects will be interviewed by a judge.

•  The interview will determine the order of the winners

Vertebrates are FISH Don’t experiment on me!

Page 13: STEM FAIR PROJECT - PGCPS€¦ · • Your STEM fair project will be graded as an assessment for science. • The research paper will be graded and part of your written communication

Vertebrates are REPTILES

Like…… •  Snakes •  Lizards •  Turtles

Don’t Experiment on

us!

Page 14: STEM FAIR PROJECT - PGCPS€¦ · • Your STEM fair project will be graded as an assessment for science. • The research paper will be graded and part of your written communication

Vertebrates are AMPHIBIANS

Like FROGS and SALAMANDERS

Don’t Experiment

on us!

Vertebrates are BIRDS Don’t

Experiment on us!

Page 16: STEM FAIR PROJECT - PGCPS€¦ · • Your STEM fair project will be graded as an assessment for science. • The research paper will be graded and part of your written communication

Vertebrates are MAMMALS

SUCH AS- •  Rabbits •  Dogs •  Cats •  Hamsters •  Gerbils •  AND …………..

NO EXPERIMENTS ON US!

Page 17: STEM FAIR PROJECT - PGCPS€¦ · • Your STEM fair project will be graded as an assessment for science. • The research paper will be graded and part of your written communication

PEOPLE ARE MAMMALS TOO!

•  Do not do experiments on people like making them taste something, exercise and check heart rate or breathing or even asking survey questions Don’t

experiment on us!

CONSUMER SCIENCE IS FOR Grades K-2 ONLY

•  What paper towel soaks up the most water?

•  What diaper absorbs the most liquid?

•  Which ketchup is thicker?

Consumer science is testing a product or comparing it to another brand of the same product.
