The Virtual Science Fair is a 12-week course providing students with the opportunity to develop a science fair project from start to finish. In this course students will: - Learn about the scientific method through in depth exploration of each step - Learn how to develop a science fair project using the scientific method - Engage with all seven steps of the scientific method: ask a question, do background research, develop a hypothesis, test a hypothesis with an experiment, assess the procedures of the experiment, analyze the data/draw conclusions, and communicate results - Develop a full science fair project and present it Students will also: - Learn to meet deadlines and goals - Follow a checklist, rubric, and syllabus - Engage in communication and providing feedback to fellow students This course is self-paced with guidelines to help students stay on track and not fall behind. While there are deadlines for student work to be submitted, there is flexibility to meet the diverse learning needs of students. Communication is key in this class and opportunities for one-on-one communication/support will be provided. Content and lessons will be provided to students through videos, presentations, and written format to ensure every student has access to the information they need to be successful in class. Each week of the course will have a specific topic of focus to provide students with the information they need to meet learning and project goals. Outside of these short lessons, students will be expected to self-manage to complete tasks in order to meet deadlines and goals. This course in an excellent opportunity for students to participate in the various elements of a science fair, including engaging with other student projects in a virtual science fair.

父母的引導和規範
This self-paced class requires students to do most of their work outside of class. As this is a science experiment based course, students may choose topics that require parental support or supervision to ensure safety in the course of the student conducting the experiment. Additionally, background research on their chosen topic may require the student to access the internet in order to gather information.
Students will not be accessing any third-party content in class. They will be expected to submit their final presentation through one of several options, which may include: PowerPoint with voice over, Google slides, Canva, video recording, etc. Student work will be shared in the course for other students to engage with.
