Save The Date For Science Fair!
Science Fair!
We will be starting to research and pick topics at the end of October. We will do the researching and designing of the experiment here at school. Students will then have December and most of January to do their experiment and collect their data at home. We will finish making graphs and writing the lab report for the experiment at school in January. Students will then glue their display boards together at home and they will be due on January 25. We will have due dates for each portion of the project to keep everyone on track.
Parent Help
Many parents want to know what their job will be in helping their student with science fair. I am hoping that a majority of the work for the project is done at school and certainly done by the student to reduce stress at home. Here are some of the things your student will need their parent to do:
- Approve the project and the project budget (just like a real scientist) before the project is started.
- Buy supplies if needed.
- Assist and supervise while the student is doing the experiment at home.
- Purchase a science fair board by the beginning of January. Any size is fine. Available at Wal Marts, Dollar Stores, and craft stores.
- Come view the projects if you can!!
2015 St. Francis State Science Fair
Last year we had two students compete at the state science fair, McKenzie Kachina-Westegaard and Simon Luckow. We are hoping for more this year!!
