Finishing Part Two of the Science Fair and Starting the Socials Studies Project

1/11/2016

The first week back in January we spent an hour each day in the computer lab working on the paperwork for the second part of the science fair. I showed kids how to import a table into Word to do a final draft of their data charts for the Experimental Results and showed them how to use Excel to make graphs for their Graphs of Data. Then they worked on writing a pretty comprehensive Analysis of Results and a thorough Conclusion. I will add the sample document we used in the lab so kids can refer to it as they finish up their work at home. 

This part of the science fair will be due on Tuesday, January 19, after the three-day weekend.​

BTW, students should clean up any corrections on part one of their science fair project now too!

Meanwhile, we studied World War 2 in class and compared it to World War 1: causes, why the US entered the war, how the war was fought and won, and who won the war. We will look at short-and long-term consequences this week. 

Students will be doing their own projects on a 20th century conflict in US history. They are not limited to doing a project on a war. We talked over some ideas in class and I told them to talk more with parents this week to come up with good topics.​

    From Education Week--According to the latest research, the two best predictors of college success are not grades and intellectual ability. Number one is “conscientiousness” (dependability, perseverance, work ethic). Number two is “agreeableness” (interpersonal skills, getting along with other people, working well in groups).

    From what I’ve observed, I would say the same is true for life after college—jobs and careers, marriage and family life. Success comes more easily for people who are willing to work hard and who are able to cooperate with other people.
