Over the next two weeks, all students will be working on one of two different assignments.
2nd period science will commence science fair preparation starting on Tuesday, Jan 4. Information about the science fair project may be downloaded here. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to open this document. You may also access other documents regarding the science fair on our school website.
6th period science will be taking part in preparations for the Science Olympiad to be held at Auburn University. This is a PCA's first time participating in this event and we will only be allowed to take a limited number of students from the class. However, each student will participate in the training and those not participating in the actual event will still be graded on their knowledge and participation. Information regarding the science fair may be downloaded from this page on the school website.
Both groups will be required to submit a written report of their project or training and will receive grades based on their knowledge and participation, although the assignments will be different for each class. Both classes will receive a quality experience in learning and applying the scientific method as well as gaining in-depth knowledge about a particular area of science. Next year, we will likely provide all interested students a chance to participate in Science Olympiad, but right now we are going to focus on the two classes that were chosen at to pioneer our participation.
