SBCE 3rd -5th Grade Science Fair 2016
"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein |
On Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016 from 8:00-10:00 AM, State Bridge Crossing will hold its Tenth Annual 3rd - 5th Grade Science Fair! All 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students are encouraged to participate.
Students who take part in the science fair will conduct background research and use experimental methodology to answer a question of their choosing. Through our science fair, we hope to provide students with the opportunity to discover and apply basic principles of scientific logic. A student may work on his or her project alone, or team up with a (one) partner. All work will be completed at home. All forms and examples can be downloaded by clicking on the corresponding files under the respective due dates below. We will need judges to help judge our Science Fair this year. If you are interested or have any questions about the Science Fair, please email Mrs. Rice at [email protected] . |
