Science
Mini- Research Project
​
Question Due Date:
December 21, 2017
Report Due Date:
February 14, 2018
Parent meetings regarding the science research projects were held on:
Tuesday, December 6, 2017 and December 12, 2017. The third meeting will be December 20, 2017 at 8:00 am.
Please check your child's folder for any "hard" copy of information that has been sent home. Please place the hard copy in a safe place as it is several pages and we all know it is bad for the environment to waste resources. You can always access the same information on the science handout page.
​
NOTE: If you find that you have trouble with any of the links, you may want to "Google Search" the link.

Bibliography Resources
Child-Friendly Search Tools
Note: It is important that your child be safe while using the Internet.
When using Google, Chrome. Safari, Firefox, AOL, Bing, Yahoo or similar search tools; add, “for kids” to the search box but be aware, as this does not always filter searches.
I have listed a few sites that are more child-friendly but, PLEASE always monitor the searches done by your child (INCLUDING ON THE WEB SITES LISTED HERE.)
​
These links were checked in November 2016 and all seem to be working properly on my desktop computer. Should you have difficulty, please Google search the website.
