Quotes to Consider:

If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. -George S. Patton

In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. -Stephen Jay Gould

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective. -Edward Teller



Weekly Announcements:

Students should be thinking actively about and researching possible science contests, events, activities, and/or community-outreach projects to undertake for their Student-Initiated Projects (SIPs). Students shouldn't just limit their ideas to projects that they think I want to see. What I REALLY want to see is students who are EXCITED about their project ideas!

If you are considering Science Fair for your SIP, please make sure you check out the Science Fair section of the website and watch the Getting Started PowerPoint.

If you are considering a contest for your SIP, please make sure you locate and read over any rules or handbooks provided on the contest website!
