Me and my partner don't have any quetions about science fair. We mostly got everything done, got our paper signed . The only thing that worries me is how are project will be seen or viewed seeing how it's bout plants . When hearing bout plants people tend to not care unless there girls or sometimes guys, but by showing an example of our project wich was the movie the happening. That caught peoples attention . >:o vote good for Santiago and Khalid

ariana UMASS said...

i don't have no question because. I had already started my project before. Me and Jennifer found out a lot of stuff, now know how we are going to purify water. We are going to boil.

denasia said...

My project is going good.Rachelle and I did'nt make that much progress in our project. We really havint done anything really but think about what to do. We come up with nothing yet. We need help on trying to figure out what to do. That's it.

Briana F-W said...

My Science fair project is going good. It is with Aleah. It is good. I did not get the rest of the question it ws blocked off on my comp. lol. Byee. :))

Mr. Binjour said...

Briana, I found something you might be interested with. How about a project dealing with cosmetics? Here a link to get your group started!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/medicine/cosmetics.html

Be sure to look at the middle school and high school projects!

Edison V said...

My project is going ok. Jason and I haven't got much progress done yet. But what we need help figuring out a project to do. Then me and Jason can do the rest of the science fair on our own.

Mr. Binjour said...

Ariana, I found some more information to help your group with water purification. You got to test more than one method of water purification, not just boiling. Your group should test at least three of the best water purification methods. Here's a link to a bunch of different water purification methods middle school students, take a look!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/environment/waterpurification.html

Be sure to look at the middle and high school projects!

Mr. Binjour said...

Denasia, I found a site that can get your group started. How about a project on the difference of boys vs. girls reaction time? Or maybe the difference in intelligence between mice and hamsters (we already have one, yes!) Here a link with these and other projects that you might like, take a look!

http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/project102_92.html

Mr. Binjour said...

Santiago, I found some Science Fair projects that your group might be interested in. I like the project talking about growing plants underwater, it's cool! Here the link for that project and others involving plants, take a look!

http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/category50.html

Be sure to look at the middle and high school projects!

Mr. Binjour said...

Edison, this would be the perfect Science Fair project for your group. You both like video games and eventually you both will be driving cars...some day, ha! So, here it is,

Does cell phone use(talking or texting) affect driving ability in a video game simulation?

This can be used to demonstrate why laws have been created preventing drivers from using their cell phone while operating a car. Cool, huh ?!?

Here's a link that outlines the project, take a look!

Arelletty {BC} said...

Well me and my partner decided on a project but we havent got our paper signed yet.We need help with somethings like when we haave to show the students the real life project in front of them.But yeah we are not doing so well right now because we need to get alot of things accomplished so we hope we can finish.

Mr. Binjour said...

Arelletty, I found a web site that can help you get started.

http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas.shtml

Be sure that you choose from either the middle or high school level projects. Also make sure it relates to the three themes for Science Fair, environment, health, and energy!

Shakera Williams said...

For Science me and my partner Jilssa we will need some time because we can't decide what we want to do for science fair.Time is not on our side here and I'm not trying to be behind. our science fair finale is right around the corner. what do you think is a good topic to do for science fair?how can this help us learn about what we need to know?

Rayj [ BC ] said...

Me and my partners need help on coming up with a science fair question. At first we had a question, that we all agreed on. Then a week later one of us decided that they didn't like the question. We need help ASAP because i want to past science fair!

melissa BC said...

My partner and I have been doing great. We are making some great progress. My partner and I is experimenting on global warming. We are experimenting how the air is affecting the Earth. So far we gotten some very important details that can help us. I strongly believe we are going to do good with this project.

Mr. Binjour said...

Ray-J, I found a web site that could help you get started.

http://www.all-science-fair-projects.com/category0.html

Hope this works for ya!

Chev [ BC ) ! said...

For science fair so far i have no questions or comments. My reason why is because yet i have no science fair project. I had one but when i had to check in with Mr.Chardin, he found it to easy for me. Last time i was researching for a project i couldn't find anything of my interest or anything difficult enough for me. I need help in order to find something difficult for me. By the end of this week i am planning on finding a project.

Mr. Binjour said...

Melissa, I found a web site that can help out tremendously!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/environment/airpollution.html

Be sure to use the middle school and high school projects, take a look!

Lisselot [ HARVARd ` ] said...

Nothing is going on , everything is going good so far. We have progress alot we got everything together. We have done certain things. We allready got our topic and we started researching. We dont need help with nothing their only one thing we need to do and its to get our paper signed but we dont have the paper so we are just waiten to get a new one and get it signed and keep working on our science fair project. This is what's going on so far.

Vanessa ~HARVARD~ said...

Science fair is...Ok I guess,but we have been looking up ALOT of projects and we havent stuck to one yet.Obviously we should VERY soon. We've searched up all different types of projects, from recycling to electricity experiments. We haven't really picked a specific category of a project either... I guess, we just really need to say, 'This is the category of projects we need to search for.".Which we have a couple of times,but we always change our minds.But I know, soon we'll have a project. But for right now I don't really think my group or me have any specific questions.

tiarra allexxis marie perez-UMASS said...

my partner and i are planing to work on some healthy ways to eat but truth be told we haven't stated yet and if you can give us a better idea that would be great.

Nicole De Olmos umass said...

My science fair project it is not going good.Me and my partner want to talk about sickle cell in our science fair project,but we don't have an experiment to do on that yet and you said that we can't do the experiment on me.So we don't know what to do...We need your help!!!!!!

Mr. Binjour said...

Nicole, since sickle cell is genetic, these project would be great and you can related to sickle cell, too!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/encyclopedia/genetics/genetics.html

Take a look!

Nia Alexander said...

For the science fair Chikayla and i are performing a topic on environment.We will be talking about how littering effects the world.We will record a video of trash on the ground.We will show what it looks like when their is trash on the ground and when the ground is clean.We might consider recording my nephews room and how it looks when its messy and when its clean.We want to see how my sisters cat will react.We still need help on the approval sheet.We will also make the earth with trash on it that says stop littering.

Mashayla said...

me and my partner want to work on a project that has something to do with health. We're having a problem figuring out what our project is going to be about.

Mr. Binjour said...

Nia, since your talking about littering, then you should talk about reducing waste which is...recycling!!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/environment/recycling.html

Take a look and be sure to use middle school and high school projects.

Mr. Binjour said...

http://www.juliantrubin.com/branchesofsciencefair.html

Be sure to use the middle school and high school projects! :)

Nicole De Olmos umass said...

What is genetic? Also,what does genetic have to do with sickle cell?
Give us a example of how to start?I think we can use the books in the library?

Stacia said...

honestly science fair for me is going horrible.my partner never wants to work and isn't here.i am not willing to fail because of other people again.i do need another partner and help with the science fair ASAP!

thank you come again :D

*tweety*

samuel umass said...

me and Karon are going to do energy because we are trying to find a better source of energy. To see what works better for example many houses need it stores and other things that need to last longer. so we also picked this subject because we can write how electricity could help the environment. so were basically writing about both energy and environment.

Mr. Binjour said...

Tiarra, this would be a good site to use to tighten up your question for Science Fair.

http://www.juliantrubin.com/foodprojects.html

I want you to look at this site's middle school and high school project, they're cool!

JROBINSON.UMASS said...

Me and my partner have no questions about the science fair. We are working on getting supplies for our project.We already got our approval sheet signed.We are also gathering more info about air pollution and how to purify air

JennyferMIT said...

Me and my partner Shamaria haven't picked a topic for our science fair project.This is because we haven't found anything interesting yet.We'd like to focus on diseases like cancer and leukemia things like that.The projects that we've found for these topics are things we wouldn't be able to do.WE want to focus on diseases because we think it's important for people to know about these diseases.Those are some topics me and m partner shamaria will like to work on.

Mr. Binjour said...

Mikel, I heard you are interested in doing a project with animals, take a look at this site to get you started!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/topicprojects/animalprojects.html

steven tyree mit said...

me and my partner are doing pretty well.We are doing which mouthwash is more effective for bacteria. also we are learning more about how to use it better to be more effective.another thing is that we learned how or when to use it( even dough we knew).this is how our science fair project is going.

Mr. Binjour said...

Jennyfer, I found a web site that can help you tighten up your Science Fair idea.
http://www.juliantrubin.com/biochemistryprojects.html

Also this web site has a cool project about fingerprints and family.
http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/genetics/human_genetics.html

GIOVANNI MIT said...

I don't have a partner but I do have a couple of questions. One question is how do we produce carbon dioxide when we exhale oxygen? Another question I have is why I have why can certain people hold more air than others? Those are the only questions I have about the science fair. For the science fair I am going to do a lung model and how air gets inside of lungs and how it gets out.

Mr. Binjour said...

Steve, I heard you wanted to do something with bacteria. Here's a web site that can help you with your project. Also there other bacteria related projects, too!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/microbiologyprojects.html

Take a look!

Nuribis MIT said...

Our project is doing good. My group is doing a project on sleeping. Also, we were wondering if you can give us a website on how sleeping affects our work during the day.

stanley(UMASS) said...

me and my science fair partner dont really have any questions. we had just got our project approval sheet signed. and we are our starting our project. so for now no questions.

kanisha.mit said...

Me and my partner Desi is doing good on science fair. we may still need a little bit of help though. We still need more information on how global warning effects plants. That all we need help with.

Mikel H.-D./ M.I.T. said...

Science fair has been going okay. I just now got my science fair project and what I wanted to do. It is about animals. I haven't picked what animal yet. But I eventually will. That is whats going on.

Mr. Binjour said...

Giovanni, I found a web site with lung-related projects. I know you wan to do the lung model, but you need an experiment to go along with it.

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/medicine/respiratorysystem.html

Be sure to do the middle/high school projects!

Mr. Binjour said...

Nubris, since you are talking about sleep, what about hypnosis? Here's a link to get you started!

http://www.juliantrubin.com/encyclopedia/psychology/hypnosis.html

This would be great in testing the effectiveness of this with bad habits (homework, smoking, etc).

jayniMIT said...

I have no questions to ask Mr.Binjour. I really dont know what i am going to be working on because i have not chose a partner yet. When i choose my partner we might be working on different kinds of water if we agree on it. The reason why i want to work on different kinds of water is because it interest me.When i get my partner we are going to be finding out more information about water than before. I cant wait intill the science fair starts.

JANAE said...

My project is going well.The only thing is that I have not receive any feedback from my science partner.

Here is my Problem Statement:

I'm getting the flu too frequently.

Here is my Problem Question:

What can I do to prevent myself from getting the flu so frequently?

angel said...

science fair is going good me and my partner got a new partner so we have three people in are group.I did a lot i found new information and got better things so we can put in are project. so far its be good but it could be better if my partner was here.

ShaneiBC said...

Me and my partners Mayra and Tasia are doing fine on our project. We are almost complete with our research on caffeine. We are one step closer to being able to finally do our POA (Plan of Action). Our experiment is already laid out in our heads. All that needs to be done next is finding ways to make our experiment better.

Unknown said...

I am in a group with Vanessa and Cheyla. We don't really have any ideas yet. Some things that we have come up with is "how to clean up an oil spil", but i think we want something a bit more interesting. I dont know. We NEED help!!!

Justin Raines said...

I came up with my own science fair prodject question.Since me and my partners questions were not aprooved. My questoion is (What baby food will get bacteria contaminated first). The types are meat,fruit,and vegetable.

Juan BC said...

My partners Jay, Chris, and I are just wondering where to get some supplies. The solar panels are a key component to the project, but none of use are sure where to find one exactly. Other than that, everything's all set

Kamay ( MIT ); said...

Well, I actually have a lot of work to do. First, I guess I need to find me a new partner, if not then work by myself... that's basically it but I'm also doing work too.

Ruben HARVARD said...

Me and my partners have no questions so far. But what worries me is the facts we don't get enough time to study and research. Plus i think we still haven't got hour approval shit signed yet. Another thing that worries me is that one of our partners is out sick. I think he is big influence in the group. So Me and my partners really need to step it up so we can do good.

Mr. Binjour said...

Kanisha, I found some idea on global warming, here the link!

Here is the link:
http://www.juliantrubin.com/solarprojects.html

Hope this helps!

Mr. Binjour said...

Jayni, I think this would be a great project, and it involves water! How about a project talking about acid rain, which is a big problem in our environment. Here's the link:

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/environment/acidrain.html

Take a look and be sure to look at the middle/high school projects!

Mr. Binjour said...

Janae, these projects should work out for you if you wanted to do something connected with the flu, here's the link:

Take a look and be sure to pick the middle/high school projects!

Mr. Binjour said...

Chris, you can get solar panels at Radio Shack for cheap. I'll also look at some recycle centers for some, too!

Mr. Binjour said...

Ruben, have you picked a project yet? Let me know!

Jpomare Harvard said...

My partner and I are having trouble because she is not in school because of an accident that happened. So it makes it very hard since we are only in contact because of emails. So it's not going as well as it could be. I have only started to fill out the research approval sheet. We just found what we might be doing are science fair on so we are off to a bad start. The only thing i would say we need help on is communicating which right now can not be helped. So we are having some trouble but it should all be OK.

Katrina ( Harvard ] said...

So far Jennifer and i Are Working on if plants can grow with something else besides water.We wanted to see that because that is very interesting to us. We want to discover if plants can grow with soda.. maybe Juice . what we need for our project is maybe a plant nothing big. we want to get a a type of cactus plant. and a regular plant to show that different plants survive differently.

wAltEr {HarVaRd said...

This year I am work with Justin, Tyriq, Joshua. My Science Fair question is "What energy drink have the most calories and which can give you energy that last for a period of time. I think this year is go to be better than last year because now I understand how to get the job done. This my partner also what to go on to 9th grade. That is my science fair project.=)

Atyana BC said...

Well Mr.B I have only one question what should my science fair project be? I don't really know what to do and I need to get my work done it's almost the time of the year I go. So what I'm saying is I want a science fair project A1 should remember me by. I want to leave the school with people saying "oh that's the girl that made that cool science project."

JARii ( HrVrD ] said...

Science Fair is going alright, it could be better because we don't have an idea for Science Fair. Right now, me and my partners don't have a project yet. We been looking for something interesting and fun for everyone. We all look for something and we talk about it , but at the same time someone in the group doesn't want to do it and we pick a new project. This is kind of hard !

Mr. Binjour said...

Kamay, this would be a great site to help you get started with Science Fair, check it out!

Shera UMASS said...

I'm still thinking about what I'm going to do. also i have no partner so that's not going good. so I'm still thinking.

Shera UMASS said...

Mr. Binjour said...

Jari, I've got a project for you. I know Ge-Ge and you love CSI, so why not do a Science Fair project on DNA analysis like in CSI?
Here is the link and to several others.
http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/forensicscience/forensicscience.html

I like these two:

Can DNA fingerprinting with the help of restriction enzymes help solve a crime scene mystery?
OR
Absorbtion and Extraction of DNA from Various Fabrics

Mr. Binjour said...

Aty, I think this would be a cool project for you. You want to work with a turtle, so why not investigate one of it's natural habitats? Here's the link:

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/environment/freshwaterpollution.html

The project's name is: Effects of Drought on Pond Water Quality

Mr. Binjour said...

Katrina, I like where you are going with your Science Fair idea, you just got to kick it up a notch! Here a link that can help you do that:

http://www.juliantrubin.com/fairprojects/botany/plantpollutants.html

Be sure to look at the middle/high school level project!

ShadiyahUMASS said...

My project is going good. Bria and I didn't make that much progress in our project. We really haven't done anything really but we are thinking about what to do. We came up with environment so far. We need help on trying to figure out what to do on the topic environment. That's it.

BRucE said...

The science fair project is coming out to be good so far.Me and my partner has got our project confirmed by MR.C and has been working on it ever since it was confirmed.

jonathan rivera umass said...

me and my partner have one question and the question is what type of plant gives the most energy and where do i get the plant for we can use it in the fair?

rochelee UMASS said...

my partner is kamay.we are working on does hand sanitizer protect you from getting germs better than anti-bacterial soap?Right now everything is OK and i hope we get to be done with the project.So,everything is fine and we hope we get to find the answer that we are looking for.

kayla d. B.C said...

My science fair has been good for the most part. I got most signatures from both Mr. C and you. Me and my group is currently doing research on our project. I like this project because it kind of helps me. It helps me because I like to freshen up my house. I wanna know how to put in new and fresh air.
