Bryker Woods Science Fair, Thursday, February 2, 2012
Dear Students and Parents,
The Bryker Woods Science Fair will be Thursday, February 2, 2012. Now is the time to start asking science questions and planning a project.
Why should you do a science fair project? It’s your chance to find out more about something that makes you curious! It can be fun and messy (if you want it to be), and it gives you an opportunity to learn about science and a chance to practice being a scientist. Every participant gets a ribbon. Top projects (only grades 3-6 are eligible) will be invited to take part in the Austin Energy Regional Science Fest on February 25, 2012.
All students, from kindergarten through sixth grade, are encouraged to participate. Students may work individually or with one or two partners.
As in the past, the PTA will offer display boards for sale. Order forms to purchase the display boards can be downloaded here. The rest of the information is included in this packet.
This packet contains:
· how to choose a topic
· project rules and display guidelines
· guidelines for parental involvement
· description of project categories (experiments, exhibits, or collections)
· project format, and judging criteria
· scientific method
· information and timeline for experiments
· information and timeline for exhibits
· information and timeline for collections
· Science Fair registration form, due January 20th
Good luck with your science adventure!
