The science fair is coming! On Thursday March 16th RES students in
grades K-4 are invited to come and share their great science fair
projects with our community. The science fair is a great way for
students and families to work together to explore and learn about topics
that interest them.
Entry forms will be sent home Friday February17th and will be due back by Friday March 10th.
Not sure where to get started? I highly recommend starting with your
interests! Is there a topic you studied in school that you would like to
learn more about? Is there something you have always wondered
about--maybe how it works? Do you have a special collection you would
like to share?
The RES science fair is a non judged family event...which means adult
help is welcome and appreciated..AND kids can work together to create
projects too!
Not sure where to get started? Here are a few resources!
I love this website. It has tons of great project ideas and even lets
you answer a survey to narrow down the choices to your interests!

This site also has great examples, and includes some great videos which
will support visual learners too! Although they are also a business
trying to sell science materials, it includes many great free resources
in the 'Experiments' section:

And one more of my favorites!

In addition, the RES school library is full of science project ideas
and resources. Did you know you can check out additional books with a
family account? See Mrs. Redford to set this up.
And lastly, I have several science project idea books, and am happy to
discuss and brainstorm ideas with kids or families....just stop by and
see me, OR email me to set up some time.
Happy
Experimenting, Discovering and Learning!
Have FUN!
