Science Fair Term 3

Hi Everyone,
Next term we are going to into preparing for the science Fair in full force as it is due by week 3! There are ideas for projects that have gone home with some students.This does not mean it is a homework task.
If there is a particular topic which has an experiment that will take 2-3 weeks to complete you may begin it in the holidays.
REMEMBER THOUGH:
Fill in your Hypothesis (what you think the results will be and why you think that) and your log book (a 'diary' of all the things you did as you complete your experiment.

If you want to do some experiments for fun -Remember... It must be safe and ethical (humane) or supervised!!!

Hayden and Ashlee's Variety Show slide show

I think the slideshow is good because it looks real.
The photos show how big the problem is.

Invasive vs Native Species -student iMovie

Students have created an iMovie for use in the Room 3 / 5 Variety Show. The final iMovie will have a voiceover from a 'script' written by the students reflecting their learning about both species (native & invasive) in their focus area.

The movie needed to demonstrate negative or positive emotive value i.e. invasive = negative/bullying/invading, native = positive/fragile/at risk

• 4-5 high quality photos chosen for emotive value.
• Title slide -font and colour chosen for emotive value.
• Transitions between photos chosen for emotive value.
• Optional use of zoom (Ken Burns effect) to highlight emotive effect of the image.

Please comment on how well the students have achieved these criteria
