Science Fair
Dear Aquarian Families,
It's November, and that means the science fair is only a little over two months away! Entry forms are due in three weeks. If your child is a 3rd-6th grader (or if your kindergarten-2nd grade child is choosing to do a science fair project), it is time to get started! This month, we suggest students study their topics, take notes, and begin researching their ideas. It’s time to make hypotheses and conduct experiments (build models, perfect demonstrations, or research questions)! Please remember live animals, plants, molds, and chemicals are not allowed on display. Students should take photographs and draw sketches of their processes.
Please thoroughly read the descriptions and requirements of the different types of projects (Experiment, Research, Demonstration and Model) in the 2024/25 Science Fair Packet. It is important to accurately communicate the type of project to the judges so that students are scored as fairly as possible. Also, please thoroughly describe the project on the entry form so the type of project is clear.
Volunteers: We are looking for 30-40 volunteer judges on February 6th from approximately 8:00-11:30 a.m. Parents, family members, and friends are welcome. For more information, or if you’re interested in committing, sign up at bit.ly/AQSciFairJudge
or contact Sarah Fineman.
