Science Fair Project Presentations

Our fourth graders did such a great job preparing and presenting their science fair projects! The class enjoyed listening to the presentations of their classmates and asking them questions about their experiments. Here are a few snapshots of our presentations from Monday:

Recycling Fun!

A special part of being in fourth grade at PES is helping with the school's recycling. December is our month to help recycle, and despite today's chilliness, we had a lot of fun! 

Sometimes the wind got the best of us. ;)

Science Fair Projects

Science Fair projects are due next Monday, December 7th!

Here are some important reminders:

• This week should be spent putting the final touches on the project. Use computer skills if you can! Include color photos and drawings, and mount them on a tri-fold poster board. Also include a 3D model if applicable. Glue the rubric to the back.

• Please do not send your child to school with their project before Monday, December 7th. All students will be presenting their projects on the 7th. On Tuesday morning we will bring them over to the high school and there will be an open house that evening at the high school following the concert on Tuesday, December 8th. Please make arrangements to bring your child's science fair project home immediately following the open house. 

• Students should write or use the computer to type all information in their own words.  Please do not include text that has been photocopied, printed, or copied by hand. Students should only include their own original work in their own fourth grade words.

• Be prepared to present your project and experiment process to the class. Practice at home!

• Before bringing your project to school on Monday, look over the rubric and make sure all of the necessary information is included!

Please let me know if you have any other questions! :)
