Science Fair - Tuesday, May 18 (7:00 - 8:00) - Fourth and Fifth Graders

This year's Science Fair will be an amazing experience for our fourth and fifth graders. Students will explore together, think critically, communicate clearly, and work collaboratively.  They will examine the foundational steps required for scientific inquiry, commonly referred to as the "Scientific Method." In addition, students will extend into concepts that can muddy the scientific waters, such as causation vs. correlation, accuracy vs. precision, independent vs. dependent variables, falsifiability, replication, and bias.

To better understand this year's approach, please watch your scientist in Episode One:

Episode One: Peanut Butter Jelly/ Iterative Process https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A8qw6sSGxVqK9pL-6Sjw9n0uO0t396Qa/view?usp=drivesdk

Please help your scientist!  - Students may ask you to participate in short, fun experiments at home. Please say yes! And, please, capture the moment with photos or video. I will add clips to our final presentation in May!  Please share your video clips and photos to this Science Fair Folder Link! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AYuBAznf3h0bc3zY6CZo7TttFEsVTyWq

Finally, if you have the time and energy to join the Science Squad of volunteer parents, I can think of many ways we could use your help! No pressure; please step forward only if it will bring you joy.

All of the information shared with you will always be available on the UE Google Science Fair Site.  Reach out if you have any questions or concerns, or if you want to help.
