 Walnut Acres STEM & Science Fair, February 7th, 2019 APPLICATIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE! Get ready for the 2019 STEM and Science Fair! Walnut Acres students in K-5 are encouraged to think
like young scientists and submit a project in any science-related or
engineering field. Projects can be as varied as their interests: sports,
music, art, rocketry, animals, psychology, food, computers, the environment or
whatever interests them. Through their projects, students discover science is
all around them. All children in Grades 4 and 5 will be involved in group projects coordinated by their respective science teachers. For group projects they will be filling in their entry forms in their classrooms. However, they can also submit individual projects for STEM Science Fair. This year the projects are divided into two types: Science Experiment: This is an experimental type of Science Inquiry project. It uses elements of Science and Engineering Practices, to carry out an experiment and test an idea. Engineering Design: The use of scientific principles and the demonstration of creativity and ingenuity to overcome a real world problem or show a better way of doing something. Projects will be judged according to the project guidelines and judges standards. The applications, Guidelines and Student Handbook, and Tips documents are at the bottom of this page. Questions? Contact Faye Mettler at sciencefair@walnutacrespfc.net. We would like to thank Kathy Vendel for her sponsorship of the Stem and Science Fair this year! http://northgateteam.com/ 2019 Science Fair Schedule
