Judging
Science Fair projects will be judged on how well the project followed the scientific method. Students should follow the basic steps of scientific discovery to prepare for the Science Fair.
When the science is done:
Guidance for 4th and 5th Grade Students
4th and 5th graders will be working on their projects with their classes and the support of their teacher. Projects from the 4th and 5th graders are expected to follow the inquiry method that is taught in class. The projects will be evaluated using the the 4th and 5th grade evaluation form.
Guidance for Kindergarten through 3rd Grade Students
The science fair is an opportunity for our youngest children to learn about the process of scientific inquiry and can help prepare them for more rigorous expectations of 4th and 5th grade projects. The projects will be evaluated using the Kindergarten to 3rd grade evaluation form. Projects should focus on answering a question, rather than a demonstration. For example, an exploding volcano is interesting, but a question should be answered in the process. Instead the question may be whether baking soda or baking powder is better at making the volcano explode.
