Science Fair

All students will need a “Composition Notebook” at our first meeting. (The notebook cannot be spiral bound or one where pages can be torn out of the notebook.)

***All students must sign in to the Google Classroom page for this year’s science fair before our first meeting.

1. 6th graders   will be presenting 47x56 inches or smaller. Please make the boards large enough to easily read. 11x17 is not advised.

Objectivity: The judges should not be able to identify you or your school. If your photograph, name or school are visible on your display or Project Notebook, they will have to be covered.
