Doughnut worry!
Here is some of the information from yesterday, remember- we are doing this project together. I will take the class through each big step, so don’t worry and be happy.
How can Ms. Lamba help me with my project??
I would be happy to
- help you explore different themes and fields
- monitor your progress with weekly check-ins
- teach you how to write a great report
- show you how to analyze your data with simple calculations
- show you how to present your data with sharp looking graphs
- help you prepare an effective oral presentation
- tell you about my experience as a fair participant and a judge
I cannot
– tell you what to be passionate about
– do the work for you , conduct your trials for you or write your report
Remember: Take OWNERSHIP of this project and be PROUD of your research
“We’re not done doing science!”
ADVICE FROM PALEOECOLOGIST JILL:
“There is so much that we don’t know that we don’t know”
“All it takes is one person asking one question, and they can radically change how humans think”
“There are always parts of things that are hard and we don’t like”
“There are always unexpected difficulties and you will run into them but you need to push past them, once you push past them you get to something really exciting and that’s actually building knowledge for yourself!”
“Don’t tell the other scientists that I said that biology is really cool and probably the coolest”
Fun fact: Jill can tell you the weather at a certain point in time thousands of years ago more accurately than meteorologists can predict the weather a few days from now.
