And We're Off!!!!!

The Science Fair season has officially begun!  On Thursday, December 19th before the holiday break began, Mrs. Jacobs from YCIS came to visit our school.  She teaches science at the middle school. 

Mrs. Jacobs shared with all of us in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades about what fun science is and how preparing a science project can help us learn a lot more about it!

Do you remember the very first word in science???

Safety

Always remember to be safe - wear safety goggles, use oven mits, an apron, even a hard hat if necessary.  Make sure to protect yourself while you're experimenting.  Remember that what goes up must come down!

Do you remember the magic number in science???

Three

Remember to test your hypothesis at least three different times while performing your experiment.  After you come up with your own hypothesis or educated guess, you will need to perform tests that either support or disprove your hypothesis.  (You can certainly perform more than three tests, but you should test at least three times.)

Good luck everyone!!  And remember to have fun with your experiments!!!
