Students in Year 7 and Year 9 from Hawkesdale P12 College, as well as students from Mrs Laguna's class in Philadelphia, started working on science fair projects in Term 4. Each student has a page on the wiki where they can share their hypothesis, research, references and experimental results and conclusions. It has been a fantastic way to assess "Working Scientifically" in VELS and improve student use of web 2.0 tools, while giving them the opportunity to choose their own topics of interest. http://onlinesciencefair.wikispaces.com
