We are excited to announce that our school science fair will be held on Tuesday, March 3! Participation in the science fair is open to students in kindergarten through 5th grade. We’ll share more information, including our registration form and the digital science fair information packet, next week!
A science fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the various practices of science for themselves, such as performing research, building a hypothesis, conducting an experiment, etc. Students complete their projects at home with the help of their families, then present their experiments on display boards during our science fair event.
Please let us know how we are doing! Send us a shoutout, an idea you have to help us get better, or a concern that you would like addressed. Responses can be submitted using this Google form. Thank you!
