2007-2008 Science Fair
Science Fair Night is for parents of 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders and anyone else who is interested. Light refreshments and childcare will be provided. Information packets will be available - these are different than the ones in the handbook. Every student in these grades is required to turn in a science fair project.
Projects are due December 10th for 2nd and 3rd graders and December 11th for 4th and 5gh graders. This is a very large part of their science grade for the 2nd quarter. It is important that each student finishes and turns in a project. December 12th is the deadline for any K or 1st grader that want to participate, but is not required.
Have you picked out your topic yet?
