Assignment 6: Visit the Terra NYC STEM Fair
The Terra NYC STEM Fair will be held February 18–March 8, 2023at virtual. Juniors and Sophomores will attend from 10:00 AM–12:00 PM [?] during the public viewing period. Attendance is taken by photograph and signature. Look for the officially designated student monitor(s).
- Find 3 projects while public viewing is underway. Pick projects that you like or are interested in. Read some of the board on your own and interview the student(s) responsible.
- Record the project title and answer the following 4 questions.
- What events or objects were studied?
- What data about these events or objects were collected?
- What conclusion did the student make?
- Why is this research important?
- Every student observer at Terra NYC is expected to interview a unique set of participants. There will be approximately 500 projects at this event, so there is no reason why there should be any overlap. If you go with a friend, the two of you must analyze different projects.
- Type up the responses to your interview questions and submit them to your supervising teacher on Monday, March 6, 2023 [?]. Be prepared to discuss your visit at your next meeting.
