MY OWN SCIENCE
Introduction and Guidelines This project is one that you can choose and make entirely on your own. You can, should, and WILL consult others for resources, information, and ideas but at the same time this is your project to work on, plan, and complete. The topic, type, and length of your work are entirely up to you. You will complete a minimum of three projects, all different types but they may be from the same subject area or from all different subject areas. Be sure to check the project and subject area with me prior to starting. Subject list options here: Physics Chemistry Earth Science Environmental Science Space Technology History of Science Astronomy Geology Resources/Brainstorm ideas: Websites National Geographic Library Ms. Post Your parents Remember to choose something that you are interested in and enjoy! This is your work, OWN it. However, do not be afraid to choose something that you may see as more challenging or unfamiliar – use this as an opportunity to grow. Furthermore, try to make connections between things we discuss in class and the topic you choose. The more connections, the more light bulbs, the more excitement! Safety PLEASE observe safety rules, which apply at school or at home. For example:

He places one in white light, one in blue light, one in green light, one in red light and one in a dark box. All of the rose bushes are planted in the same soil and given 300 mL of water once a day for 3 weeks. After the three weeks, Mr. Higgenbottom observes the rose bushes and makes measurements. Which of the following would BEST describe the “Statement of the Problem?”
