In this episode, students return to science class with background research in hand.  They use this research to generate hypotheses.  I discuss the way students debate predictions and use their research to back up their ideas.  I also explain the hypothesis format I use and how it helps students envision the entire experiment.

If you’ve been struggling to make Science Fair a meaningful experience for your students and you, join in the conversation on the Science Fair Podcast.

In this first episode, I talk about how I introduce the science fair concept to my seventh grade students.  The whole podcast is recorded on my commute to work, so it lasts less than fifteen minutes .  Check out this podcast each day as I talk about my day-to-day experiences and challenges working through the science fair process with my students.
