We will be going over to the library to research ideas for your science fair project. You will first have to log on to this blog. Then go to the Science Buddies link and go through the questionare. Once you have your list of projects, narrow it down to two or three ideas. You will then go back to the blog and leave me a comment. Your comment should include the following information: The titles of your top two or three ideas in ranking order and your name. I'm trying to get you to use this blog more and more for communicating with me, getting homework and assignments, and homework help. This is the future, get used to it.

You have a lot of creative freedom here in how you want to approach this. Each presentation will be a minimum of 10 minutes and a maximum of 20 minutes.
