This will help students and parents know if the experiment was done correctly. https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446785058 2025-05-12 16:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446785058 Ice Melting. Will the shape affect how fast the ice melts. The larger the surface of the ice cube, and has the most area, heat will absorb over a larger area. https://www.education.com/science-fair/article/ice-melting/ https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446785796 2025-05-12 16:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446785796 It provides great videos, explanation, materials, science behind it. https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446786400 2025-05-12 16:13:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446786400 Website might have a lot of ads. https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446787396 2025-05-12 16:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446787396 Edible/Inedible Experiments Archive https://padlet.com/mpaez/yxd52z3jsc8na5yo/wish/3446787456 https://www.madsci.org/experiments/

A lot of pop-ups.

Most experiments were demonstrations which looked appealing, but not what we want students to choose. Overall, was not student friendly or a good resource.

2 Things To Try:

  • Have students try simple at home experiments at home or at school.

  • Use the experiments to have students identify ways to improve on the demonstration to make it a more detailed project.


1 Question:

  • Would this be a good resource to share for students and parents for the science fair project for next year?

  • Asks students, teachers, and parents questions before releasing Science Fair ideas. The Science Fair idea only includes abstracts and careers aligned with the project.

  • Not elementary school friendly in terms of navigation and instructions.

  • The individual must log in to receive more information or "assign" a project to someone.

  • Geared more towards teachers and not students.

  • Alot of "confirm if you're human"
