Science Fun Fair - Science is Among Us!
SCIENCE FUN FAIR: Everyone is welcome to join virtually for the Science Fun Fair on Friday, January 28th from 6:30-7:30pm using this Zoom link:
glendaleusd.zoom.us/j/88175772631 (ID: 88175772631)
We have nearly 200 students who have completed science fair projects, and 40 sixth grade students who have worked in teams to complete engineering builds to keep a marble rolling the longest in a paper roller coaster. We will recognize all of the students and their creative, amazing science projects during the virtual Family Night, as well as enjoy a fun-filled science evening with the Crescenta Valley High School Chemistry Club and Robotics club joining us to demonstrate their robots, workshop, and interesting science chemistry activities. We will conclude the evening with our traditional Coke/Mentos soda geyser. Everyone is welcome to attend the Virtual Family Night, whether or not your child completed a science fair project.
Students who completed a project will receive their certificate and ribbon in next week's Thursday folders.
All classes will be able to view all of the science project posterboards in the auditorium (one class at a time) during school on Thursday and Friday, January 27th and 28th. We have also been posting a science "Question of the Day" at school that your student can ponder and answer.
The science fair Flipgrid videos of students demonstrating and explaining their science projects will be open for viewing this week and next week. The Flipgrid links are separated by grade level and can be found on the Science Fun Fair webpage here: Mountain Ave Science - Mountain Avenue 2021 Science Fair (google.com)
We hope you have enjoyed Science Week, and please join us Friday evening for the Virtual Science Fun Fair Family Night!
