A science fair is an exciting event that encourages students to think like young scientists. Each child should design a science project that uses the scientific method to solve a problem. We hope you agree that the educational benefits are numerous, as students develop skills in writing, oral presentation, creative thinking, and problem solving.
We ask that you encourage your five to eighteen year-old children and monitor their progress along the way. Your support is key to a successful project, but please do not allow your involvement to extend any further in order to assure equity and promote student learning! It is important that your children wrestle with problems and try to solve them. Guide your children whenever and wherever you can, but let the final project reflect your child’s individual effort and design. Also, keep in mind that a successful project can be completed for under $10.00.
See the following websites for suggestions on helping your children through this process from choosing a topic to the final report:
