Parent approval

All students have selected a science experiment topic. Please discuss and review the topic with your child. They will need to have supplies for practice Wednesday and presentation next Tuesday.


As a scientist, you are expected to explore past experiments and test the theory presented. Your task is to
showcase your chemistry skills and understanding of the scientific vocabulary through a science
experiment of your choosing. 
This experiment will be conducted at school using the supplies you provide from home. It is important
that you plan your experiment, discuss it with your teacher, then your parent to receive approval.
After the research and approval process, you will be given class time to conduct the science experiment
and present your findings to the class. 
Your experiment must… 
  • show a Physical OR Chemical change
  • be approved by the teacher and your parent 
  • include an experiment write-up and demonstration 
Side Note: No doubles or slime!
