Science Fair Letter Home:
Hi parents,
It’s
getting close to an important event in the school year: Science Fair!
The Science
Fair will be held on April 28th -29th this year, and so I
would like for students to begin thinking about what experiment they would like
to do and who they would like to work with. This is something they will have to
do every year in school, and as this is their first one, I would like their
experience to be a fun and positive one! In class I will give some time for
working and discussing our experiments, however it is something they will have
to do outside of school and work on for a few weeks. Students will receive a Science Fair packet
and Rubric in order to help guide you.
First step
will be to fill out this form and return by: Tuesday, February 16th
Name of
your child: __________________________________________________________
Students
may work in groups of 2 or 3, please keep in mind they will have to meet
outside of school in order to prepare project. Partner they will be working
with:
