Science Fair: Brain, The Inside Story

We just getting underway w/ our plans for this year's Science Fair...
Our theme, Brain: The Inside Story, will be in conjunction w/ our visit to AMNH...
The students are beginning to decide upon groups, job roles, themes, guiding questions, topics, etc. using the pre-visit packet I sent home as well as the Activity Questions completed at the exhibit...
Once I have received all their proposals, I should have a pretty good idea of timelines, materials due, and so on...
No 'presentation' date yet- will keep you posted!
Regards-
