Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue, how volcanoes erupt, or what makes slime so gooey?

Now is your chance to find out! The [School Name] Science Fair is officially in the planning stages. You get to pick a giant question, test your ideas, and show the whole school your discoveries. Get your thinking caps ready—more details and sign-up sheets are blasting off your way soon!

 

Brief Overview

The science boards will be set-up and available to view between 5:00 pm and 6:30 pm in the multipurpose room on the day of the event. Students are encouraged to accompany their projects to explain and/or answer questions viewers may have. All students who participate will receive a participatory ribbon.

General information:

• Projects should be displayed on a three-section board.
• Projects can include a demonstration, inquiry, or science experiment.
• Projects will be completed at home independently or with family members.
• Project examples and a suggested timeline will be provided in class.
• The scientific inquiry process should be used.

The scientific inquiry process is a problem-solving approach that includes the scientific method. The basic steps of the scientific method are listed below:

• Problem/Question
• Observation/Research
• Hypothesis/Prediction
• Experiment
• Collect Data
• Analyze Results
• Conclusion

The scientific method is used in all sciences. Scientists ask different questions and perform different tests. However, they use the same core approach to find answers that are logical and supported by evidence.
