Week 2
Happy start of September! We are on track for our science fair. Students have pinpointed their questions and hypotheses. If students are not sure about their specific question they can always talk with their science teacher and slowly make adjustments to their initial question. Modification is an important part to the scientific process! Research is one way that students can adjust their question.
Many times their question is already answered somewhere on the internet, but that is fine, they can modify their question to something more novel! Research is very important as it allows us to learn what is out there as well as learn about other methods previous people have tried. To avoid plagiarism, we must cite these sources. To cite the sources we need to format them properly, copying and pasting the website address is not appropriate or acceptable. Try placing citation machine, which can be found freely on the internet!
To further enhance learning, students should highlight what they read. Printing out only the important pages of the article or website (not the entire thing!), students can highlight key bits of information they gained from the source. This will be kept in their research binder. The research binder can be used when they eventually present their project. They can always turn to that binder if they forget something in the middle of their final presentation.
This is a long term project. As such it is important to keep track of what has been accomplished and what more needs to be done. If there is a missed week, please try to catch up before the next checkpoint is reached. Waiting to the last minute will compound the amount of work that needs to be done, and that’s not healthy. Please always let us know if you are having difficulties or have some concerns! Best of luck Orcas!

What is 30/30 Rule?
The “30/30 Rule" is a Delayed Dismissal Weather procedure that the nationally recognized. It is required that the “30/30 Rule” be enacted by the school if thunder is heard within 30 seconds of a lightning strike. Orlando Science Middle/High follows this rule.
When 30/30 Rule is implemented, students will not be dismissed until 30 minutes has passed from the last sound of thunder. However, parents/guardians who wish to pick up their child/children during delayed dismissal, will be allowed to sign out their child/children at the cafeteria or front office.
In order to pick up your student(s) from the cafeteria or front office during this procedure, parents/guardians must bring their dismissal sign to the front door of the school to sign their child/children out. If you do not have a dismissal sign, you will need to provide a picture ID and be on the school pick-up list to pick-up the child/children. Bus riders will be delivered home when conditions are all safe for dismissal.
An automated telephone and/or email message will be used to notify parents/guardians about delayed dismissals. Always be sure to update the school when your phone or email information changes. Thank you for your cooperation on our students’ safety.
