Science Fair

This is an opportunity to get PreK through 5th grade students actively involved in science, problem-solving, and critical thinking. The Science Fair will be held on January 22nd from 6-7:20 pm. Students are encouraged to enter a Science Fair project following the scientific method. Projects will be judged and awarded at the end of Science Night. Awards will be given for students PreK-3rd and 4th-5th.

Along with the science fair and contest, the indoor inflatable planetarium will be set up in the gym and running two shows: one at 6:00 and one at 6:30. 

We have also invited the NISD BioMed and STEM academies and look forward to their presentations for our Lakeview students.

Information:

Your student has the option to have their project (using the scientific method) judged or as a demonstration only.  The projects will be completed outside of school.  A parent’s or adult’s role is to encourage and guide.  

Need Ideas?  The best projects are often original, but please encourage your child to view some Science Fair Websites such as:

SCIENTIFIC METHOD

• What is the QUESTION?

• How did you RESEARCH?

• What was the HYPOTHESIS?

• How did you EXPERIMENT?

• What was the DATA (Observations, Graphs, Pictures)?

• What CONCLUSION did you find?

If you would like your project to be judged, the participant will be expected to have a display board highlighting their project and their scientific process. The project may be brought to school with your student the morning of January 22nd or delivered to the school by 1:30 PM.  Students will be called down before the end of the school day to set up their projects, so pick up will be normal. All projects must be picked up taken home with you at the end of the night. 

A panel of judges will review the projects and help choose 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each of the grade classifications.  Students will not be present for judging. Prizes will be awarded for PreK-3rd and 4th-5th grade.  If students complete their project in a group, there will be only one prize.

Please be sure your student follows the guidelines which the judges will be using in their judging process: 2025 Judging Form
