Wacky Science: Join Mac-Cyber Science Fair!


WACKY SCIENCE

Let's get ready for the Science Fair!
MAC-CYBER SCIENCE FAIR 2010

The Scout has been readying for the Science Fair next month, although we aren't even sure that our co-op will be sponsoring a Science Fair this year.  He is still gun-hoe about Science and making a project.  Scientific Solution: we issue a challenge to our readers, Join us for our Mac-Cyber Science Fair 2010!  

Here is how it will work:

1.  Spread the word out there in "cyber-land" that we will be having a homeschool Cyber Science Fair.  The actual Science Fair judging dates will be held online March 5th.  Judging will take place during the day with the Science Fair winners announced Saturday, March 6th, 2010 & prizes forthcoming!

2.  All homeschoolers will need to be registered online by March 1, 2010 in order to receive their Science Fair information packet.  Parents: (1)You must at least have email capability, but if you found us online, that shouldn't be a problem.  (2)You must also have a digital camera in order to post pictures.  (3)Your child must also be a student between the ages of 8 - 18 years of age, actively homeschooling.

REGISTER HERE: Send an email with your child's nickname or first name only; Age; School Grade; Science Fair Project topic; and your email contact information.  You will then receive your participant packet with instructions & guidelines.

3.  We will be posting links to our Cyber Projects through a posting thread (with Mr. Linky) on this blog. Each participant can post their Science Fair Project for judging via their own blog (or parent's blog).  No blog, no problem - Make a comment below and we will make arrangements to have your project posted. All projects must be posted via Mr. Linky for judging by March 3rd, 2010 by 6:00 pm CST to qualify.

4. WE WILL HAVE FUN WHILE LEARNING!!!  Be sure to get started looking for a great project.  Subscribe to this blog so you won't miss the Cyber Fair Link-Up Post, nor any of the fun prizes we will be giving away during the MAC-CYBER SCIENCE FAIR!

  5. So my son is interested in participating in this, but we are not sure what the Mr. Linky deal is? Also can we take a video of the project and post it via youtube on our blog? Sorry for being so tech challenged!

  6. No worries Marty! Every question is essential!

    Mr. Mckliny is a FREE service that is used to link up all of the blogs that are participating in the Cyber Science Fair. The MckLinky will be attached to the Mac Cyber Science Fair Post (Beginning March 1st). Participants will have until March 3rd to link their Science Projects (blog posts) to the MckLinky.

    The judges will then use the MckLinky to view each Science Fair Project on March 4th.

    You may use videos in your presentation. Get creative, we love that!!!

    You will still need to email me directly to register if you have not already done so.

    So glad you could join us! I hope this answers your questions. If not, email me directly.

    Have a prosperous week!
