At Roncalli High School, all students enrolled in a regular science course in the junior high school program will be required to complete a science project. This project will be developed over the school year and displayed at the school science fair in March.

Rationale The scientific process is an integral part of the teaching and learning of science. The most effective way for students to understand how the process works is in the development of a project that us unique for them. The process also allows students to explore other areas that have been most important in the science movement. Those areas include the internet, media, environmental and societal issues, consumer concerns, ethical questions and simply general awareness of the world that surrounds us. It has been our experience that students who put a great deal of effort into a project come away with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
