Step Two - The Experiment

Project ideas have been coming in this past week and so now that a decision has been made it is time to design your experiment. The process is to only change one variable and to see what happens and record that as data. It is not a requirement to have a lab notebook as part of the science fair display but it is a good idea and shows the judges that the child was involved with the experiment. It is absolutely okay for the parent to be involved (and encouraged). The display board can also have a section for Acknowledgements where you can list those who helped you with your science fair project. Good luck!

Late Registration

Registration for the Science Fair does end today, however, we will not turn away any 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader that may still be interested. Just email Brenda Caruso (brncaruso@me.com) and she will get you a science fair packet.

We have close to 50 students signed up so far! What a great start to the Science Fair!

Science Fair Project Ideas


The first step is to choose an idea for your science fair project. Any idea that will get you excited about science is a good place to start!

Please remember to submit your idea to Rachel McDanell (mcdanell@gmail.com) as soon as you have made a decision!

Check out this video of a "Hot Ice" project, and be sure to watch all the way to the end to see them pouring the ice:
