Student Inquiry Science Project

Click this link to access the information sheet, success criteria, final checklist, and rubric for our Science Inquiry Project.

Student Inquiry Project

Please note that in order for an accurate assessment of student work all research and report writing must be completed at school. Students will be given ample opportunities to access technology for this purpose. Materials may be collected from home (books, computer print-outs) and brought to school for the project. Students will be allowed to bring their work home to compile into a final bulletin board.

This is going to be fun!!!
