TRANSCRIPT
Please participate if you are interested in STEM or if you are interested in getting extra credit for a class. You may work with a partner.
TMP Science Expo
Teachers who are offering extra credit: Scott Voorhies, Hilary Hale, Jody LeFevers, Beth Roop, Sky Tallman, Rebecca Birch, Steve Rogers
Expo date: April 15th, 2016!
If you are participating for extra credit in a class...
• Decide what class you need/want the credit in (this can be cross curricular)
• Talk to the teacher about that class or classes and get your participation approved
• Form a hypothesis or question and have your idea approved by Scott V. and your teacher(s)
If you are participating for fun…• Form a hypothesis or question and have your idea • approved by Scott V. He’s an approachable guy.
Steps for Success...
• Submit a paragraph explaining your project to Scott V. and your teacher(s) by December 10th
• formatting instruction
• Submit a log that tracks the progress of your experiment and contains reflections about the process once every two weeks
• you can use a journal, a GoogleDoc, a video log, etc.
• Create a final presentation and display board due April 15th
• board must include: a title and your name, problem statement or project description, methods/procedure, materials, pictures or graphs, results, discussion/analysis, conclusion, any physical result
Examples...• Biology: scan the life stages of a living organism, on the SEM, and explain
each stage in detail • Environmental Science: print the parts for a wind turbine on the 3D printer
and assemble the turbine • Economics: predict patterns of stocks using computer programs like
NetLogo, StarLogo, Python,C++, etc.• English: extend your board for Hillary’s class, research (in depth) the history
of a book from her class and produce graphs with some data that you found regarding that time period. Ex: “The
• Grapes of Wrath”. For this book research • how many people lost jobs during that • time, or the infant mortality during the • depression
Examples...
• History: program and track the effects of any war or disease on a• population• Geometry: print geometric shapes on the 3D printer (this requires• learning how to use SolidWorks)• Algebra: graphing or analyzing data• SciTech: build a model of the solar system using a program or using the 3D
printer • Physical Science: track your average work • done over a 10 day period, create a video• example of this and voice over it
Lab Hours
• Scott V. and Chloe Puglisi will host lab hours
• Anyone can attend Tuesday or Thursday 3:30-4:30 in room 320
• Individual times can be discussed with either Scott or Chloe for people who need help with:
• learning a programing language
• using how to use the SEM or 3D
• printer
• analyzing data
Remember• This counts as extra credit for those who need it; you can get extra credit in
more than one class
• Entry paragraphs are due December 10th
• Everyone must keep a bi-weekly log
• Lab hours are available
• Final presentation and display board are due April 15th
