This always happens... in elementary school the students do one "amazing" science project (that really isn't science) and everything is fun and dandy. Then they come to middle school science where we need to build a foundation (like read science and write) then experiment and they are always disappointed. How to I get them to buy in?

Great science project questions can not be answered with a yes or no.

The material is Science, the length is not rigorous. Biomes are definitely science. So are volcanos. However, it is how they learn them for them to be relevant or not.

Start with a question and/or a phenomena that needs investigation. Ask the kids how they think they should figure out how and why this happens.

Yes, they do reports, but not science.
