This full course will also address the required steps of the scientific method in preparation for a science fair. Full comprehension of each step of the scientific method is required before proceeding to the next step. How will I teach? I will present material using Google Slides. The students will be asked to verify their comprehension with oral and written reviews. Students will initiate conversations with the teacher to clarify their science fair goal. Required experience of background knowledge? Students should have completed my single session or short course. Students must present their "Science Fair Project Proposal".
