Hey Kids!

As we prepare for the Meigs SS fair, let’s think about what we’ve learned in this process. Please respond to the blog about the SS concepts you learned, your thoughts about how you think you did on it, and what you think about doing a multi-media project versus the science fair which involved testing a hypothesis. Include fun moments, the difficult parts, and interactions you had with your partner or teacher/parent. After posting, go back a day or so later and make an additional comment to someone else’s post.
