    🌟 Inspiring Young Scientists to Explore, Discover, and Create!

    Welcome to our annual Science Fair, where students become scientists! All 3rd–5th grade students are required to complete a science fair project as part of their academic journey. This exciting event encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and hands-on learning.

    📅 Important Dates:

    • Science Fair Window: December 2–12, 2024
    • Final Project Due: November 14, 2024 (No late entries accepted for judging)
    • Classroom Fair: November 15, 2024
    • Winners Submitted: November 18, 2024

    🧰 What Students Need:

    • A composition journal (logbook)
    • A 3-prong folder or clear folder for the formal report
    • A tri-fold display board

    🚫 Project Guidelines:

    • Projects must be experiments, not models (e.g., no volcanoes).
    • No photos showing body parts (including hands) on the display board.
    • Prohibited topics: experiments involving vertebrate animals, humans (including taste tests), or mold growth. These will not be eligible for judging.

    📌 Project Components:

    Students will complete their projects in stages:

    • Topic & Question
    • Hypothesis & Variables
    • Research & Bibliography
    • Materials & Procedure
    • Data Collection & Analysis
    • Conclusion & Extension
    • Abstract & Formal Report
    • Display Board

    Each component has a due date and will be checked for completion. These checkpoints count toward the student’s homework conduct grade.
