  • I have a middle school science fair coming up in march and i was looking for ways to blow away my teacher?

    Posted by admin on January 25th, 2010 and filed under middle school science | 1 Comment »

    It has to be related to biology and also i am willing to spend a little money on it…not too much though

    When I had a science fair I did something to do with what your lungs look like when you smoke. You put a couple of cotton balls in a sandwich baggie and then get a cigerate and make the cotton balls turn black which is suppose to be what your lungs look like when you smoke. You just put some more information of your own about smoking and your done! I got a C on that and won 3rd place when I was in 5th grade

    Can you help me with this theory of evolution middle school science question?

    Posted by admin on January 18th, 2010 and filed under middle school science | 2 Comments »

    According to the theory of evolution, which of the following processes leads to adaptive changes in the genetic makeup of a species over time?
    A. Genetic differences among
    individuals in a population make
    some individuals more likely to
    survive and reproduce than others.
    B. Physical changes in individuals
    that are caused by environmental
    conditions are passed on to their
    offspring through their genes.
    C. Environmental changes produce
    mutations in the genes of individuals
    that help their offspring
    survive and reproduce.
    D. Populations of individuals with
    relatively low mutation rates eventually
    replace populations that have
    unstable genetic material.
    What’s the best way to understand this theory and Natural selection as well? aren’t there 5 parts to natural selection? Do you have a website link that best explains all this? b/c not only would I like to understand this question, but others like it

    The best answer is A.

    Natural selection is very simple. Those organisms with the best genes for the organisms’ survival in its environment are more likely to be passed on to fertile offspring. Changes in the genes of the germ cell line are passed on to the next generation, and if the genetic changes make offspring more fertile in their environment, the frequency of the gene will rise in the population.

    Note that changes in the environment may favor new genes to cope with the changes. Also, keep in mind that the genetic changes are random, but the selection process is not.

    This is survival of the fittest, where fitness only means producing fertile offspring.

    what are the parts of it that all teachers are looking for and that have to be in the packet and on the board? both please seperately

    the scientific method of course. all the steps hypothesis, procedure, observation, results, conclusion…. etc. all that and the presentation. if it was challenging and if you did an awesome job. presentation always count. it has to be neat and awesome looking. even the simplest of science fair project make it to display if it’s presentable.

    I have a masters degree in environmental science and would like to go back into teaching middle school science?

    How do I get a certificate after being away from teaching for about 25 years?

    too vague – here is what is needed to answer correctly:

    Were you certificated before? All states have a method for recertification.

    which state? every state has different rules on this.

    until I know more: go to your states website, look for credentialing rules.

    If you have never been certificated, then its: credentialing program, tests and student teaching.

    What should be some sub catagories in a middle school science fair project?

    Question says it all o_O

    Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science etc.

    What are some good ideas for a middle school science project? [Please no baking soda and vinegar]?

    Please answer quickly i really need to get this finished!

    Try growing seeds with tap water vs bottled water and see if it makes a difference in the size of the plant.
