SCIENCE FAIR

The MCSchool Science Fair 2013 is a school-wide activity that targets the application of scientific concepts and skills where the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes of the students is evaluated.  This activity promotes the healthy spirit of competition while it fosters the solution and analysis of problems and or situations present in the scientific world.

The science fair will be dedicated to Water Cooperation.  2013 has been declared by UN as the International Year of Water Cooperation. The celebration offers a unique opportunity to raise our students’ awareness of the challenges facing many of the world’s water sources and the measures that must be taken by each of the world’s citizens to preserve this invaluable resource. Great success stories and valuable lessons on how to promote water conservation and management already exist. The Year provides a means to bring these voices together and build momentum towards greater public participation in water conservation and cooperation activities around the world.

Objectives:

• Use skills, abilities and attitudes in solving problems and situations in the Scientific World.
• Utilize creativity and curiosity in both.
• Solve problems using the Scientific Method.

A science fair project is an investigation that is designed to solve a problem or answer a question. It is a 'science' fair project because a procedure called the scientific method is used to answer the question.

Steps of the Scientific Method

The point of using the scientific method is to learn how to systematically and objectively ask and answer questions. Here's what to do:

1. Observe the world around you.
2. Based on your observations, ask a question.
3. State a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a statement that you can test using an experiment.
4. Plan an experiment.
5. Perform the experiment and make observations. These observations are called data.
6. Analyze the data. This gives you the results of the experiment.
7. From the results, decide whether or not your hypothesis was true. This is how you reach conclusions.
8. Depending on how your experiment turned out, you may have ideas for further study or you may find that your hypothesis was not correct. You could propose a new hypothesis to test.

Written Report from

Title. a catchy, clever title,  it should be an accurate description of the project.

·        Avoid unnecessary words, while covering the essential purpose of the project.

1. Introduction and Purpose (one or two paragraphs)
   this section introduces the topic of the project, notes any information already available, explains why the group members were interested in the project, and states the purpose of the project.

2. Problem (question) and Hypothesis (answer to the question)
   state the problem and give an answer based on your research (hypothesis).

3. Materials and Methods
   List the materials used in the project and describe the procedure used to perform the project. NOTE: include pictures, photographs here.

4. Data and Results
   Data and Results are not the same thing. Data refers to the actual numbers or other information you obtained in your project. Data can be presented in tables or charts, if appropriate. The Results section is where the data is manipulated or the hypothesis is tested. Sometimes this analysis will yield tables, graphs, or charts, too.

5. Conclusion
   The Conclusion focuses on the Hypothesis or Question as it compares to the Data and Results. What was the answer to the question? Was the hypothesis supported (keep in mind a hypothesis cannot be proved, only disproved)? What did you find out from the experiment? Answer these questions first. Then, depending on the answers, group members may wish to explain ways in which the project might be improved or introduce new questions that have come up as a result of the project.

7B CLIMATE

1.- Aimee, Juan, Paula (Can the reflection of the Sun’s rays change the Climate?)

2.-Ivanna, Enrico, Laura ( How does Carbon Dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere affect the air temperature?)

3.-Carla and Vanessa (What adaptations help dogs keep cool during hot weather?)

4.-Isabelle, Valeria, Ramon (In what way does El Niño change the climate? What Climate changes are caused by la Niña?)

5.- Rosslenny, Samantha, Daniela ( How will the temperature in a green house compare to that of an open system when exposed to solar energy?)
