Science Fair Seminar
Science Fair Seminar
Jennifer Seretan and Jennifer Fullilove are offering a series on scientific inquiry.
open to students grades 4, 7, and 9 only.
Clackamas Location
8800 SE Sunnyside Rd., Room 215
Clackamas, OR 97015
10:00-1:00
Scientific inquiry is an important part of Oregon and national educational standards. In Oregon, scientific inquiry benchmarks are measured during the 5th, 8th, and 10th grades.
AllPrep science teachers agree that meeting these standards are important because these skills will serve students’ higher-level thinking in a variety of settings. Besides, investigating questions and finding your own answers can be so rewarding and fun. We want to help prepare you for state assessments and skills by inviting you to join the science fair seminar.
These labs will replace a full unit in comparable Odyssey curriculum. Students will deepen their understanding of scientific investigation and create their own science fair project to present on April 12!
To sign up, please contact Cindy Cole at ccole@allprep.usThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it by January 15th.
Please sign up soon to reserve a spot as space is limited to 30 students.
