CLASS FAIR SLIDES & RUBRIC

Step 1: Choose a Topic

The topic should be something that you are interested in, or do regularly.

Love basketball? Investigate that.

Are you an artist? OK! This is your topic!

Really want to use a microscope? Do a biology project!

Want to find a way to do your chores as fast as possible? Ok, you have a topic!

Step 2: Create a Testable Question

A Testable question is one that can be answered by designing and conducting and investigation.
You have to make sure that it is
-actually testable,
-you have the time and tools to test it,
-and the test is safe.

Step 3: Identify variables, design & conduct your test.

If your question is "Does Pop Secret or Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn pop a higher percentage of kernels in each bag?"

Then your variables are:
Independent- Brand of popcorn
Dependent- Percentage of popcorn popped
And your controls are:
Package directions followed, microwave used, and how you determine the percentage popped.

Variables can be tricky. Not sure if your variables are correct? Feel free to post a flipgrid for your grade level, and I will help!

Step 4: Answer your question!

You popped all of your popcorn, you counted the number of popped kernels and unpopped ones. Now, you have an answer.

One of the best ways to show your data is in a graph.
Now restate your question into an answer and use the data to support it!

. ________ microwave popcorn popped a higher percentage of kernels. In three different trials, this brand popped on average more kernels that the other brand.

Step 5: Share your project

For the class fair, share your project in a flipgrid video. Your video should include:
-Your name, grade, & science teacher
-Testable question
-Variables & Control
-How you did your test
-Pictures or video of the actual test
-The answer to your question.
If you want you can make a google slide show and share your screen while filming your flipgrid.
