McCall School is proud to be an Official Partner of the 2nd USA Science & Engineering Festival to be held in the greater Washington DC area in April 2012.
What is the universe made of? Why did dinosaurs go extinct? What do magic tricks and hip-hop have to with math? What will be the next medical breakthrough? What does baseball have to do with physics? Find out at the 2nd USA Science & Engineering Festival Expo on April 28-29, 2012! Explore science & engineering with 2,000 free, hands-on activities and over 100 stage shows and author presentations. The two-day Expo is perfect for teens, children and their families, and anyone with a curious mind who is looking for a weekend of fun and discovery. Meet Science Celebrities, award-winning Science Authors and Nobel Prize winners from the past and present. New this year: A Career Pavilion for high-school students and a Book Fair featuring over 30 science authors! For more information, visit http://www.usasciencefestival.org

Abstract (To Be Completed After you Finish your Experiment)
Completing the Abstract
After finishing research and experimentation, you are required to write a (maximum) 250 word, one-page abstract. This should be written on the Official Abstract and Certification Form as provided by Science Service. The abstract should include:
a) purpose of the experiment
b) b) procedures used,
c) c) data, and
d) d) conclusions.
It may also include any possible research applications.
Only minimal reference to previous work may be included. An abstract should not include:
a) acknowledgments (including naming the research institution and/ or mentor with which you were working), or
b) work or procedures done by the mentor.
