Mrs. Ewing’s 5th Grade

The next best thing to being there.

Science Fair 2.0

Posted by Jennifer Ewing on April 30, 2009




It’s that time of the year again!  You know the time I’m talking about: when Mrs. Ewing clearly loses her last shred of sanity! 

Science Fair! 

I’m concerned/excited because this is the first year that I have taught all the Science classes for 5th grade!  (No pressure.)  I feel very blessed to have the laptops this year!  That has helped so much!!!! 

We are also attempting to incorporate Web 2.0 technologies into our Science Fair again.  Check out our Science Fair wiki to see how it’s going. 

We’ve got lots of great projects in the works:

  • The effects of texting while driving
  • Are energy drinks bad for you?
  • Do less expensive brands of performance gear work as well as Under Armour?

Lots more (35 more, to be exact.  Again, I say, no pressure.)  Those were just a couple that came to mind!

At this point we’re finishing up research and formulating our hypotheses. 

More later!!!
