Over the next 3 weeks in class, you will be working on a STEM project. Class time will be given each week to work on your individual projects. If your project requires more time to complete, you will be required to do some work at home. Depending on what you choose to do, it may not be reasonable for you to conduct some of your testing, experimenting, and/or creating at school.

Below is the link of the presentation that Ms. Nowlan shared with our class. This presentation provides invaluable information for you to refer to as you work on your project. 

On Slide 30 there are links for several websites where you can find ideas and inspiration for your projects. Please start thinking about what you might like to do!

On Slide 31 there are links that will give you details outlining the expectations and criteria for your experiment and exhibit, as well as the judging rubric.
