Extractions: The NOSB is a nationwide academic competition among teams of high school students. Twelve separate regional competitions are held around the U.S. in February with the final national competition held in April. The NOSB tests students' math and science skills as applied to topics on ocean (and Great Lakes) biology, chemistry, geology, physics, technology, history, and economics. High school teams of four students, one alternate, and a coach compete in 18 minute long rapid-fire question and answer matches during the day-long round-robin, double elimination competition. GLERL's Ann Arbor office coordinates and co-hosts the Midwest Regional Competition , which is held at the Univ. of Michigan, and GLERL's Lake Michigan Field Station in Muskegon, MI is host to the Fourth Place winners of the National Competition.

Extractions: reprinted with permission of The Observer http://www.qciobserver.com/ Jamie Richardson is back after an exciting trip to Taiwan where she won a bronze medal for her science fair project. The Grade 10 Queen Charlotte Secondary student left the islands Feb 17 for the International Science Fair hosted in Taiwan. She joined the one other Canadian delegate, Stephanie Chong from Vancouver. After a long day and a half of travelling, they arrived at their hostel about 10 am. Tired, but eager to explore, the girls headed out to the streets of Taiwan-"very interesting smells!" she says. Taiwan is "crowded and polluted." The next couple of days were taken up with science fair preparations. The delegates met at the National Taiwanese Science Education Centre to set up their displays. Some were very fancy, says Ms Richardson, and she felt very grateful to Patrick Bartier of Parks Canada for taking time to help her with her presentation before she left. Judges evaluated the projects, but the winners were not announced until the next day. The students listened to a long ceremony in Chinese. None of the international students realized they'd won until their names were announced and went up on stage for their trophies. The most exciting part of the trip was meeting people, says Ms Richardson. Learning about other cultures and having fun with new friends was the main focus. One highlight was staying in a Taiwanese home for three days with a host family.

In addition to project ideas about weeds, we also present many interesting gardening science projects and other natural science project ideas. Teachers, students and parents will find all the information necessary, including advice from experts, steps to a science project, and everything you need to put your science project together from the special resources we selected to help you get started on the right foot. For example, if you're just starting out, we suggest visiting the Internet Public Library , for a basic orientation on science project steps.

Teacher S Resources Welcome to science fair Project on the web . Teacher s resourcesTeaching the Scientific Method Have your students apply the six http://sciencefairproject.virtualave.net/teacher_resources.htm
Extractions: Home Links Email The Steps of a Science Fair Project ... Judging Sheet Example Teacher's resources: Teaching the Scientific Method: Have your students apply the six steps of the scientific method to different questions. Example questions: Do crickets prefer light or dark? Will ice sink in water? Which will a nail rust faster in? Salt water or tap water? Do earthworms prefer their soil moist or dry? Use simple questions which your students will be able to solve with your help. This is just preparation for the real thing - the Science Fair project, where they get to use this tool, the scientific method, to solve their own questions. Once your students have found some questions, have them form hypotheses. A hypothesis for the first example question would be "I think crickets prefer light to dark". If you make the hypothesis the opposite of what you expect, you will be more objective when collecting the results of your method. Figure out a method to prove your hypothesis. In the example above, the class might tape a cardbord wall with a doorhole for the cricket into the center of a small box. A piece of cardboard can be taped over one side of the box to create a dark 'room' for the cricket. Some mosquito netting can keep the cricket inside the box. Have the class place the box directly under a strong light for some hours. Your students should observe the result and write it down. Repeat the experiment with several crickets in the box at once. Have the students write down that result.

Extractions: Stephanie Gross Adam Possner U.Va. Graduate Leaves Life-Skills Legacy April 28, 2000 Adam Possner is so firmly convinced that participating in science fair projects can teach important life skills that he founded a mentoring program to help area school children. To date, Possner's program has provided about 1,000 hours of help to local children engaged in science fair projects a significant accomplishment for a college-age student not majoring in science. Possner's love for science and science fairs began during his sophomore year at DuPont Manual High School in Louisville, KY, when he did a project on a local weed. Through that project Possner became interested in the production of rice, and for his science fair project in his junior year, he constructed rice paddies in the basement of his home. He tested the effect of methane gas, which is normally produced in the flooded paddy, on rice growth and yield. As his interest in the project grew, so did its cost to approximately $5,000. To raise money for such an expense, Possner's dad, an aircraft mechanic, worked overtime, and Possner asked local companies for support, an effort that generated about $1,100 in donations.
Extractions: At the May, 2000, General Meeting CPCUG recognized another excellent group of young computer scientists. Since 1996 the Capital PC User Group has honored deserving young computer scientists for their outstanding science fair projects. CPCUG President Scott Mohnkern presented the awards including present plaques, $50 savings bonds, and one-year CPCUG memberships for special achievement in exploring computer technology. As before, we saw the project displays prepared by these young scientists; CPCUG members were impressed by the intelligence and enthusiasm of these young people. They have much to teach us about their explorations in Computer Science. We have also invited these young scientists to send us electronic copies of their papers for inclusion on the CPCUG Web Server and synopses in the Monitor.

Walls That Teach dragons, warriors, and visual explorations into Chinese science, architecture, math The Walls that teach project won two awards at BellSouth s Learning Alive http://www.gsd.k12.ms.us/wallslyt.html
Extractions: The Grenada Middle School has deveoped an innovative new teaching strategy using the arts-an idea to use the walls of a building facility to teach the student. As a result of this concept, a partnership between business, artists, school district parent groups, and the Mississippi Arts Commission has created the "Walls That Teach" learning environment . "Walls that Teach" has produced a teaching work of art that describes world events and takes the students on a journey combining art, technology, and history. The project communicates the idea that the school is a "time machine" equipped with a graphic time line, swirling graphics, and a number countdown inlaid in the floor tiles. This project serves as an interactive teaching tool that has been the basis of county-wide teacher inservice and a motivation technique for student creative writing activities, historical studies, and research. After traveling past the timeline that extends form 6,000 B.C. to the present, the "time machine" takes the students to the first stop-the fifties! Students are surrounded with a mural, painted by artist Ginger Wolfe, depicting a myriad of famous personalities from this era, all of them portrayed in the environment of the local Grenada Lake. The next hallway, Egypt, features a nine-foot sculptural sarcophagus, map, and murals depicting life in Egypt. The artist, Robin Whitfield, stated, "The Egyptian section contains design elements, hieroglyphics, and murals depicting the major styles of Egyptian art. The walls of the halls will be used, as well as the floor tiles, to provide a total learning environment for the middle school students."
