Science Fair

 

This is an opportunity to get Kinder through 5th grade students actively involved in science, problem-solving, and critical thinking. The Science Fair will be held on January, 24th from 6-7:30 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.

Along with the science fair and contest, we are hosting The Yuck Show, an energetic live science assembly featuring host Brian Whittington who will provide an exciting experience for both kids and parents! You won't want to miss this! You can check out his past shows on the website https://yuckshow.com/


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.  If you elected to not have your project judged, you do not need to bring your project to the school. 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 November 30th or delivered to the school by 1:30 PM.  All projects must be set up no later than 3:00. 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 K-2nd and 3rd-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.
