Special Projects & Extra Credit

Yay! For the SCIENCE FAIR!

All 7th gragde students are required to do a science fair project. The project can be anything your student wants to do. We encourage the students to think about a great idea and research topics before comitting to a project. We will be working on them in class periodically a month prior to the fair. Parents help is encouraged but we do ask that the students do most of the work. The student will have to give a speech about their project, how they conducted the test, and the reults obtained.

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES-

There will be extra credit given out of a maximum of 100 points a semester. The students can choose from:
