All Phillips students are required to complete a science project. All forms related to the science project are in the FORMS section. Please see above. These forms may be saved to your home computer and printed. The FINAL project will be due in December and will be a 300 point test grade. If you have any questions about the project, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email. I will be happy to help!!! These projects require time and preparation. A timeline will be provided to inform you as to when each portion of the project is due. Students will be working on these projects for 4 months, they are not an overnight project. We will walk them through each step in the process to ensure they are on the right track. Please check with your child weekly to make sure they are up-to-date.
