All Cambridge science classes will be required to do a Science fair project within the first semester. We would like you to begin reading the power point on the scientific method and write up your initial proposal. The proposal will be due on Friday August 24^th (the second Friday of school).

Below is a website that can get you started on developing your project ideas. Remember you need high school level projects and Sciencebudddies.com is NOT an acceptable website to use. The projects on this site are low level projects and not appropriate for high school age students.

Reminder all projects found on line must be adapted by the student and not copied exactly - THAT WOULD BE PLAGARISM.

The following website can be used for Ideas: http://www.projects.juliantrubin.com/science_fair_project/award_winning_projects.html

Please read the power point on the scientific method before beginning your proposal:

Environmental Management:

Instructions for Projects - Pick a topic relating to environmental management which is research and opinions on use and conservation of natural resources, protection of habitats and control of pollution. Projects should relate to a local issue and be focused on a single variable (something like global warming is way to broad). Projects need to have a quantitative way to measure the outcome. The timeline for projects allows about 2 months to collect data with multiple runs after the initial trials to modify if needed. Access to needed materials should be considered when developing the project.

Over summer you should - pick a topic 

                                              - Define your variables 

                                              - Special materials needed

                                              - Outline for when your project will be tested.
