Science Fair Lab Results

For the first time in high school, I can officially say that science fair ran smoothly. Coincidently, it’s the first time I worked with a partner on the experiment. While I generally work better alone, when it comes to tactile projects, I struggle. I have always had trouble when it comes to hands-on activities and I usually require a lot of practice before I am able to do it successfully. Science fair is no different. With the help of a partner this year, I felt I could do what I am best at, while

Problem Statement In order to fully develop critical thinking skills necessary to function in the world of science, and the world in general, science teachers must incorporate more robust authentic inquiry activities, as part of their overall science curriculum. However, in my experience as a science teacher (18 years) and a science program director (3 years) in inner-city high schools in Boston, students do not have the opportunity to engage in robust authentic inquiry activities. Using my years’

This paper is a Science Fair Project about Coke and Mentos Reaction. This essay is not going to tell you about the experiment but rather background information on the subject. The background information is about Mentos reacting in Coke. A rougher candy surface such as, Mentos, means there are more places for bubbles to grow, or more nucleation sites. (brilliant.org) Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between two liquids. (brilliant.org) Dropping Mentos in Coke is an example

Research proposal Science Fair Proposal By Jose Munoz Everman Joe C. Bean High School  Abstract Everyone has experienced warmth by sunlight. In this science fair project i will determine how the color of an object affects the amount of radiant energy absorbed. Background Most of the processes that are critical for our day-to-day lives are driven by energy provided by the Sun. Energy from the Sun warms the planet and keeps the global temperature within a range that allows life

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math courses are not well supported at EIS. EIS should support a wider curriculum for people that want to pursue a STEM related career. The implementation of new lab equipment and also new science related AP courses is necessary at EIS in order to improve in the STEM areas. After being a part of EIS for two years now, I have observed a deficit in its science and technology courses. Personally, I will engage in a science related career and I do not feel prepared

I was scrolling through the weekly microbiology email update when the rare job section caught my eye. I saw there was an opening to be a lab assistant. I immediately filled out the application and attached my resume, hopeful that I would be considered for an interview. After I submitted my application, I began to anticipate what the microbiology lab would be like.Would there be other freshman working as assistants? What sort of research would they conduct? Finally, the day arrived to find out. The

should be placed on fairness and equality in the classroom, yet I am also realistic about it. Deep down, I am a realist at heart. I know the world is not fair, but my students probably do not realize this yet. If my students want to have fairness in their school environment they should be asked to decide on what they think is considered to be fair in the classroom. For example, if I taught a group of students on how to complete the cut out cookie recipe I mentioned earlier, I would ask the students

with my grandparents in the 8th grade that really changed my life. Early in high school I was focused on a career in technical theatre, but I had teachers who encouraged me to take more advanced courses in literature and science. Through this coursework I discovered cognitive science research and was fascinated, but I wasn’t sure how to pursue that interest. Serendipitously, while walking the dogs, my grandfather ran into one of my neighbors, a college prep counselor, who needed her roof fixed and my

I have always been fascinated by the field of computer science, and that led to me pursuing a degree in Computer Science from North Carolina State University (NCSU). While at NCSU I had the chance to work under a computer science professor and learn a great deal from him. As a result of my prior research experience I believe that I will be a perfect fit for this Research Experience. Research has been an essential part of my academic life, and doing research has both increased my critical thinking

This following science lab reflection is about light and how it bends while it travels from one thing to another. Our main goal for this lab was to discover how light bends. But the problem is that we have to break-in and get past laser security in the Whitehouse. I hypothesised that, if we can bend the light around us then we will be able to get past the laser security. If we shine water at the light then the light will bend better and we will be able to get past the laser security and into the
