Science Fair Projects

Question: I want to do a science fair project about slime? How do I get started?

Answer: Believe it or not, the boy with slime on his nose could be doing research for his science fair project. Well! Maybe putting it on his nose and crossing his eyes for the photo will not be recorded, but how the slime looks, feels, etc… will be recorded.

Science Fair Projects can and should be fun. If you need a little help getting started, check out the following link. You will find project ideas for slime, crystals, separating DNA and other topics.

Algebra: Imaginary Number

math calculator robot

Do you sometime wish that you had a robot to take care of all math instructions?

How many times have have you heard this question, “Why do I have to learn this stuff?” or “When will I ever have to use this algegra stuff?”

Many student think they will never need algebra and they may be right. But, since it is needed to pass college entrance exams they must learn how to work algebra problems. So their job is just to do it and your job is to help as best you can. In fact, even though I personally love algebera, I tell kids that some bored Math Geek made it all up. So, we can just pretend to go along with it all–smiling sweetly and nodding our heads as if we agree with it all. After all, our goal is to make a good grade and the best way to do that is to make teachers–you–happy. YEA!!!

Let me give you an idea of how I present algebra material, such as the imaginary number of i. IMAGINARY NUMBER

Let me know if you have specific math questions.
