Science Fair

Our science fair will be held in April  Fourth graders are required to do a project which consists of an experiment using the scientific method.  More information will be added to this page when the date is finalized.

This is to be a fun learning experience that will require a lot of time and effort.  Start the projects now, so it won’t be made miserable by rushing to get it done.

  1. can we do a volcano?

    • No, volcanoes don’t work as a science fair project. I will explain why later, but it has to do with a testable question and conducting an experiment to test your question. A volcano is a demonstration and doesn’t fit the criteria.

  2. love it!!!!!!!

    do we hve to do a test on someone or anything

    • You have to come up with a testable question (hypothesis). I will talk about the scientific method in February and it will become clear.

  3. What are the things that you need for the final thing?I know that there is a hypothesis, question, materials, procedure, and results.Are there any others that I missed and what order do they go in?
