To CSUC student
organizations -
a message
from Dr. Challinger, CSUC Liaison to the Chico Science Fair
Our goal is to
provide support for school teachers who want to encourage their students
to participate in the science fair, while providing Chico State students
with important outreach activities. School teachers will be able to
request a presentation for a class at a specific grade level on "How
to do a Science Fair Project in __________." Insert your favorite scientific
discipline!
What your student
organization will need to do:
- be aware of
the specific requirements for science fair projects - see
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/csf/guidelines.pdf
- develop a
40-50 minute demonstration on how to do a high quality science fair
project in your discipline
- posterboards
and props are best, you may not have a computer projection system
- the more
fun and interactive, the better!
- example
projects are a good idea
- consider
how you can adapt your presentation to different age groups
- stress
the application of the scientific method (Category I projects)
- have teams
of two or three students from your organization who are prepared
to visit classrooms between September 1, 2007 and April 1, 2008
- store the
demonstration materials in a safe place for use by student members
in subsequent years
Dr. Challinger
would be happy to speak at a meeting of your organization.
