KEY DATES

Monday Folders

Jan. 11^th: Registration Forms Due

Jan. 25^th: Science Fair

Come up with a Project

The Science Fair recognizes three types of projects: (1) Collection with Classification; (2) Exhibit; and (3) Experiment. Download Information About Project Types to learn more about these project types and how to choose a type that is right for you. Please also read the Caraway Science Fair Rules and Guidelines. Certain projects and certain project items are not allowed. If you need help with a project idea, look on-line or go to your public library – there are a lot of great science fair resources. Caraway also has many talented science teachers: Go talk to one of these teachers about your idea.

Registration forms will be sent home in the Monday folders on November 30^th. You may also download the form here. We’ve created a checklist to help you through this process. Make sure you follow the steps. Registrations must be received no later than Monday, January 11^th. We encourage all participants to have their projects judged (after all of the hard work, it’s fun to talk to someone about your project).

Do Your Project

Follow the Caraway Rules and Guidelines. Review the judging form that will be used to evaluate your project. There are separate forms for Collection, Exhibits and Experiment. At the top of each form is a list of required elements. Make sure your project board includes each of these required elements. Even if you’re not having your project judged, these may be helpful to you.

Attend the Fair

On January 25^th, bring your project with you to school in the morning. Your teacher will allow you to take your project to the gym during the school day. You should plan to be by your project at 4:45 p.m. Judging will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m. and last until 7:00 p.m. During this time, only participants will be allowed in the project area (the gymnasium). Public viewing will occur from 7:00 – 7:45 p.m., and awards will be announced at 7:45 p.m.
