Unit of Inquiry:
Science Fair is tomorrow! The kids have put in a lot of hard work. Tonight your child should be focusing on practicing their presentation. Each student will have 5 minutes to present to the judge(s). It has been suggested that they students try to present for 3 minutes and then allow 2 minutes for a Q & A period for the judges.
A lot of time was spent putting the final touches on poster boards and practicing presentations with a partner.
