Dear Parents/Guardians,
It's Science Fair time! On Thursday, November 19 th , we will be having our annual
Science Fair for 4th-6 th grade students. Fourth grade students may enter a project in our
Science Fair on a voluntary basis this year. However, each fifth and sixth grade student is
required to do a project for their science class. Science projects are primarily independent study assignments involving experimentation on a topic of individual interest. The educational benefits to the student who completes a project, which are numerous, include, developing skills in writing, oral presentation, creating thinking and problem solving.
Students entering the Science Fair will be required to display their experiments on a 36’’ X
48”” science display board that can be purchased at Hobby Lobby,
Michael’s, and other various school supply retail stores.
Science Fair Projects are to be completed at home.
1.
Students will complete their own/individual project. The only team projects will be in 4th grade.
2.
Students and parents should monitor their progress staying on track to meet deadlines.
3.
Topic of Science Fair due: Friday October 30. Students must provide 2-3 topic
choices for consideration.
4. Completion of Project and Logbook due Monday November 16 th -18th.
Projects involving the following materials are prohibited from our Science Fair:
● No animal or human testing. This includes taste testing, sleep deprivation and other tests that require a human or animal test subject to be involved in the experiment.
● Molds and bacteria are prohibited from science fair, due to the high possibility of spreading disease, germs and other unsavory cells.
● No Tobacco, weapons, or firearms.
