Fourth Grade Gets Ready for the Science Fair

Click here to view the 2010 Falmouth Science Fair


This week all fourth grade classes will begin investigating websites to find ideas for experiments that they would like to conduct in preparation for the Fourth Grade Science Fair here at Mullen-Hall as well as the Falmouth District Science Fair. We will be teaching students these important things to remember about science projects:

1. Is the project interesting enough to work on for the next couple of months?

2. Are there at least three sources of written information on the subject?

3. Is the experiment safe to perform?

4. Are all of the materials needed for the experiment readily available or can they be obtained to the complete the experiment?

5. Is there enough time to complete the project by the due date?

Using these questions as a guideline can help you and your child to choose an appropriate project.

Remember!
Volcanoes can be fun, but
there are other options for science projects
