SCIENCE 9 CAP PROJECT

Buckle your seatbelts, children of the corn!!!

This is not just a project, but an amazing competition between ALL FOUR CLASSES!!!

In this project, you will come up with a super interesting question that matters to you, and try to answer it using the scientific method. Then, you will create a Weebly site to showcase your findings. This includes:

1. Your question!

  • Craft a question that is relevant to you, as well as something that is achievable. 
  • "What would happen if I did not smile to my dog for a week?", not "I wonder how far would it take me to climb the Kilimanjaro".

2. Your background research!

  • Research thing about your subject.
  • Do dogs even recognize facial expressions? How smart are dogs? Etc Etc.

3. Your Hypothesis!

  • "I think my dog will start following me around more."

4. Your Experiment!

Keep track of everything. Numbers, times, amounts, photos, recordings, videos, everything is data.

5. Your Analysis!

Were you right on your hypothesis? What was wrong about it? Is there anything you can shift to get a result you are happy with, or perhaps you want to change your hypothesis and retest? 

6. Share your Data!

You will put everything in a weebly website. This includes: 
  • Your Question
  • Your Research (links?)
  • Your Hypothesis
  • Your Experiment
  • Your Analisys of Results
  • Your Conclusion

QUESTIONS FROM THE PAST

  • How is hydropower harvested from water?
  • When mixed with Menthos, which pop shoots higher?
  • How does the diet of a chicken affects its egg?
