East Side Science Fair 2010

Every year, we invite students from grades K-5 to participate in the East Side Science Fair. This year, the Science Fair will be held on Thursday, March 4th at East Side. We will have displays available for viewing for parents and students from 11:00am to 1:30pm. Independent judges will score the displays and experiments to help determine the winners on March 4 from 7:30am to 11:00am.

All Students grades K-5 are invited and encouraged to participate in the upcoming East Side Science Fair!

All participants will receive ribbons for their hard work in the science field. In order to accommodate all participating scientists for the event, we will be taking a preliminary count of the expected number of display areas needed. Grade level guidelines for the projects along with informational resources will be made available to all interested "scientists" and parents of all participants. These guidelines will provide appropriate scientific language and other resources for students. Here are few resources for you to get started.
