e Search ora So ution Science Fair Flu, Term Paperitisg these strange maladies strike students of Brookfield Central every year, at cer- tain times of the year. The cause: the necessity to complete either a science fair project or a term paper. The symp- toms: A sudden feeling of any illness a short time before either of these magni- tudious assignments are due. The cure: Remaining home from school and work- Ing diligently to complete these extremely important assignments. Science fair projects and term papers for Advanced Composition and certain Social Studies classes are notorious among students as being a constant thorn in the foot. Assigned months in advance, science fair projects and term papers at first seem overwhelming to the student in both size and work involved. Over the months before they are due, constant work must be done to get them finished. lt is no wonder that students of BCHS of whom they are required seem to have a dull pain inside their heads for the duration of these projects. Though it is true that term papers and science fair projects require much effort from a student, they are excellent tools for gaining wisdom in the subject which the paper or project was assigned in, the education gained far out weighing suffering and long hours put in. Science fair projects are a required assignment in thescurriculaof advanced and accelerated science courses. They are assigned on Day One of the course, and are to be finished around the first week of March, a period of seven months. A student is expected to work' steadily on the project the whole time, with numerous short term goals stipu- lated in the assignment sheet for the- project. ln the past few years there has been controversy concerning the worth of Science fair projects. Those against them say the student is not learning a thing from them, because they are merely doing them to get them finished. Those for them say they teach a student not only scientific technique, but also responsibility and patience. Science falr was an important part of my time at BCHS. It taught me the procedure of the scientific method and improved my powers of observation, as I learned to see things I otherwise wouldn't have, remarks John Puchner. 6 'l!
