  1. Science Expo 2006-2007 Charlottesville High School Science Department

  2. Why is there a Science Expo? • We have a Science Expo so students have an opportunity to learn about a science topic that is interesting to them, and then share that experience with the rest of the school.

  3. Why do a project for the Science Expo? • Show off your talents! • Learn about something scientific that has always interested you. • WIN PRIZES! Prizes may include equipment, t-shirts, gift certificates to area businesses and MUCH MORE!

  4. Who does a Science Expo project? • EVERY STUDENT in a science course does a project, unless it is a second year course. For example, AP Science, Dual Enrollment, and Human Anatomy students don’t do a science project.

  5. What type of project can I do? • There are five different types of projects: • Experimental Projects • Community Service/Volunteer Projects • Models • Interdisciplinary Projects • Literature Reviews

  6. Experimental Projects • For this type of project, you • design and carry out an experiment • create a backboard and • write a report to tell others about your project. • The 20 highest scoring projects at the CHS Science Expo can go on to win more at the Piedmont Regional Science Fair. • Last year, several of our students went to the state fair, and one went to the International Science Fair!

  7. Volunteer Projects • You can learn more about something in science by volunteering 20 hours of your time, then telling us about it with • research information, • a journal about your hours, and • a backboard or poster. • The hours you serve can also count as community service to meet other requirements. • We will have a list of places with volunteer programs for you soon. Some people volunteer in research labs, at Martha Jefferson, or with City Parks and Recreation.

  8. Models • For models projects, you will submit: • a short research paper about your model’s topic • A model • a backboard/poster to explain your model.

  9. Interdisciplinary Projects • If you would like to combine your interest in science with your interest in history, art, literature, music, or something else, this is the category for you! • For this project you will submit • An project plan • A progress report on what you have accomplished halfway through • A final project

  10. Literature Reviews • Literature Reviews are reports about current, groundbreaking scientific research. • You will use professional scientific journals. • You will submit • Your topic and at least 3 sources • Outlines/Summaries of your journal articles • A final paper

  11. When are the due dates? • September 26/27: Initial research and topic • November 8: Second part • January 8: Final project See your project information sheets for more details.
