Science Projects: Grade 5

The students will be bringing home their science project on Tuesday May 17th. It is a large project and requires the help of the internet, and some parental guidance. If students are having any technical problems, such as printers or are not able to access the internet (and cannot find anything in the Kanata Library) they are to contact Miss. Sturgeon right away and use the school computers at recess times. Web links will be provided here to help, so check for frequent additions.

Please refer to the handout sent home, as it includes all the instructions, the expectations, and even a level 4 sample report as a guide for you child.

Both the short report (1 page single spaced) and the poster (each for a different resource) will be due Monday May 30th.

As a result, there will be less weekly homework for Grade 5s in order to allow time to work on this nightly. It should not be a lot of work if done for about a half hour or so nightly. It should never be left until the last week or last few days. It will count as part of their science mark, and homework learning skills.
