We're trying something new this year! Instead of requiring all of our students in grades 4-8 to complete a science fair project, we are offering five different areas that students may choose from. They may choose to complete a project in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math. The requirements vary from project to project, but they all have the same number of deliverables. That is, each project will be graded on the same number of items, but the content of the graded items may differ.
Choose an area of interest below and follow the links to find details about completing a project in that area.
