Grade 6 · Science · Lesson 40

Science Fair or Showcase

A science fair is the loud, friendly end of a long quiet road. You picked a question, you tested it carefully, you made mistakes, you fixed them — now you stand next to a tri-fold board and tell strangers what you found out. This is your capstone showcase. The science was real all year, but today the audience meets it. The trick is not to invent something dazzling on the morning of. The trick is to stand behind work you actually did, explain it in plain words, and answer questions honestly.
