Science fair is coming up - how are you handling projects this year? Partners/no partners? All-digital projects? I'm at a loss on how to do it.

I'm not a big fan of science fairs to begin with.

like

I am not a big fan either. I am a retired high school science chairperson. A number of years ago a doctoral student did a project among a number of local school districts that attempted to find a correlation between mandatory student science fair activities and student interest in science. At the outset the hypothesis was that there was a positive correlation. His research and analysis proved exactly the opposite...school districts that did not mandate science fairs possessed students who had more of an interest in science and science careers than mandated project districts!

I’d like to stay at my current agency but NEED the $. How do I navigate this?

Additional Posts in Science Educators

Today's high point in my chemistry class: I am teaching Atomic theory and structure. I have my students look at their periodic table and I walk through the information listed for each element. At this point I talk about a lot of big ideas that are related as an prelude to where we are headed. One student told me that she took chemistry last year, and in 10 minute I was able to connect all of the pieces that never made any sense to her. Her 'aha's moment was like candy to me.

A lot of families want their students to do hands on labs during virtual learning. I am not allowed to "require supplies" for basic school supplies because of equity reasons. How can I reach all families?

Hello. My district is currently remote (virtual) and I am teaching a chemical reactions unit. Usually, this is a hands on unit. I cannot do hands-on labs for equity reasons. My district does not have subscriptions to any science lab simulation sites at the middle school level. We use the NGSS. We are standards based grading and I can only grade the stand MS-PS1-2. Anyone have suggestions on free simulations I can use? I teach synchronously to my students 2 classes (2 hours total ) each week.
