For students who do not have access to graphing software, here is a website where you can make a graph with your data:  http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/

All students will present their project to their class on either Tuesday the 12th or Wednesday the 13th. 
They will need to bring the following:
  1. display board
  2. research paper
  3. journal
The presentation will give teachers a chance to evaluate student presentation skill and allow students to have some feedback before the actual science fair.
Students may take their boards home after the presentation if they want to work more on them.  They may also leave the board in the science lab until the day of the fair.
