Science Fair Information
Setting Up for Success
On this page you will find the 2021-2022 Science Fair Packet containing all the necessary information for the science fair project, which is due on Monday, March 1, 2022. Students in grades Kdg-8th Grade are required to participate in this exciting event. A science fair project can be an excellent learning experience and a memorable highlight of your child’s school years. During the next few weeks your child will design a science experiment that uses the scientific method to solve a problem. We hope you agree that the educational benefits are numerous, as students develop skills in reading, writing, oral presentation, creative thinking, mathematics, and problem solving.
Each student will be given instruction during class about the various steps of the scientific method. These steps have also been included in this packet. However, the work for your child’s specific science fair project will be completed at home. The information enclosed will provide you with a suggested timeline as well as an explanation of the project requirements. We encourage our students to choose projects that are original and challenging. Please refer to this timeline as you encourage your child to think scientifically.
We urge parents to help guide and monitor their child’s progress on the science fair project during the next several weeks. Your support is important to a successful project. However, do not allow your involvement to extend any further than that of a supportive role in order to assure equity and promote student learning. It is important that your child wrestles with problems and try to solve them. Guide your child whenever and wherever you can, but let the final project reflect your child’s individual effort and design. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact your child’s science teacher.
Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to watching your child enjoy this unique opportunity for scientific discovery!
Sincerely,
The Science Team
