2008 Science Fair is scheduled for Saturday, April 19th
Science Fair 2008
Guidelines
Grades 3 and 4: Projects Judged Sat. April 19 (Fri. April 18 = In School Sharing**)
Students will be scheduled to present their projects to judges on the indicated Saturday during one of three sessions, beginning at either 9 a.m., 10:15, or 11:30
* * Students will show their projects to other classes on the day before they are judged. This gives students a chance to show other kids their great work and helps the younger kids to learn from the older ones. Parents should make arrangements to bring in projects on this Friday morning.
The science fair is a mandatory project for grades 3 and 4. The primary purpose of the fair is to educate the children on how to do a science project as well as generate enthusiasm in them for further study of science. To that end the judges will warmly encourage the children and not intimidate them or stress competition.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR
CALENDAR NOW...
We recognize that some families have commitments (dance lessons, Little League,
etc.) that would make an earlier or later presentation time necessary. If you
anticipate such commitments on the scheduled Saturday, please contact Kristine
Hartmann at 897-7787 or khartmann02@verizon.net. Otherwise, in mid- March,
students will be assigned to one of the three scheduled sessions. Parents
seeking to change times after they are assigned will need to find another
student from the same class willing to swap times with them. There is only one
presentation day therefore switching of presentation days is not possible.
QUESTIONS?
Contact Kristine Hartmann (570)897 - 7787 or khartman02@verizon.net. If you are feeling overwhelmed or confused about anything, please do not hesitate to call, especially if this is your first year in the science fair.
INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING?
Do you have a scientific (including medical) profession or hobby? Some of last
year's volunteers in the cafeteria shows are no longer available. If you want to
help with science fair we could REALL Y use some parents and their interested
children to bring models, animals, or science toys or demos to the cafeteria on
the judging Saturday (since parents and siblings must wait there during the
judging times.) If you have an older child who graduated from the elementary
school and loves science, maybe he or she would like to bring his or her old
project to show those waiting in the cafeteria. Please call us at the number
above. The children love this kind of family participation.
