HOPE YOU –PARENTS-WORKED WITH YOUR CHILDREN TO THINK OF A TOPIC THEY WOULD DO A PROJECT ON!! (IF NOT PLEASE DO)-As a reminder, some details below.
PARENTS' DAY PROJECTS:
· On Parent's Day your children will present a project they work on from January to a small Peer Group of children.
· Projects can be theoretical (read some literature and present) or experiments.
· Concepts should be SIMPLE-something they can do with guidance and speak to.
· PURPOSE is to make them understand the effort it needs to put a (reasonably) cogent presentation from material they collect. PARENTAL GUIDANCE & HELP is FINE-PLEASE DO NOT DO IT FOR THEM-DEFEATS the PURPOSE!!
· Each Project should have a hypothesis, Body of work, a conclusion (AND a sentence or two on why the conclusion matches or does not with the hypothesis-IN THEIR OWN WORDS.)
· DR. K will provide a list of topics Children used over the past few years. PLEASE work with your CHHILDREN to GAUGE their Interest and IDEAS and work WITH THEM to Bring to Fruition.
· We Would LIKE ALL CHILDREN to do a Project-PREFER that they DO NOT REPEAT what they do IN School for the SCIENCE FAIR/SCIENCE DAY etc.
Cheers
Raj
