Lamb - Science Fair Extra Credit

Read the following very carefully.

    • Trimester 2 - up to 25 points extra credit

Trimester 2 extra credit is about conducting an experiment and showing me your progress over the course of one month.

These Due Dates are rigid. If you start late, or if you do not send a picture by the due dates, you will not get the points for that turn-in date.

Note - some students do their entire experiment as soon as they can so they can get it out of the way. If this is you, just take pictures of each of these steps during those few days and email me the correct picture on the correct due date.
