Super Scientist Semester 2

Super Scientist Competition

This semester children are asked to present a short (2 min) report on a topic for the Super Scientist Competition. A report is not an experiment. Reports should be an explanation of a topic from a scientific perspective such as an animal, life-cycle, planet, force (buoyancy, friction, magnetism, gravity) or any topic that your child chooses. Children will only have 2 mins to present their report. Children are asked to have their reports prepared by Week 4. The following roster will be available on the classroom door.
