Projects need to be brought to school on  February 8, 2011. Students need to store their projects in their science classrooms until after lunch. The small gym will be used for the Science Fair. We will wait until after 5th hour to set up.  Students will be called out of their classes when they are needed for set up. The projects will be judged after school. We ask that no students or parents be present for the judging. The Science Fair will be held from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. the evening of February 8, 2011.  All projects will be given back to the students the following day.

 

The projects will be awarded participation certificates, as well as a rating of excellent, superior or highly superior. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will receive medals and savings bonds.  The winners and others with highly superior ratings will advance to the Regional Science Fair.
