Abstract Form- Required of every student.  We will work on this in class but it must be perfected and word processed from home.

(1A) Student Checklist--All students must turn this in.   Adult Sponsor is the parent.   No teams.  Individual projects only. 

Research Plan Instructions--Refer to this form.  Research plans will need to be written according to the directions on this form.  We will go over this in class so that it wont seem so daunting. I'll post a due date.   The rough draft of your research plan will be kept in your regular science copybook.  Eventually, you will word process, print and turn in.   I will give you ample notice. 

(1B)  Approval Form--All students fill in the top part--Part 1--of this form.  This part of the form requires a parent's signature.
