1 The Rhodes School Science Fair Information Packet K 2 nd Grade
2 September 2014 Dear TRS Parents and Students, Welcome to the Science Fair! The purpose of the Fair is to cultivate curiosity and enthusiasm for science in all students (PreK4-6 th grade) by providing opportunity for them to question, explore, discover, and share newfound knowledge with others. Science Fair projects are produced at home, therefore parental assistance and support is essential to your child s success. This packet is your guide to help your student prepare a project and exhibit for the school Science Fair in October. This packet includes: Schedule of Assignments Project Ideas Definitions & Science Fair Ideas Oral Presentation Rules Assignment forms The first step is to help your child decide what science project he/she wants to do. Please review this packet carefully with your child, then choose a project your child is interested in and that you deem appropriate for his/her grade and ability level. Need ideas or help? This packet lists several ideas and suggestions and you may contact your child s Science teacher with questions or help with project ideas. Once you choose your project, fill out the project plan form and turn it in to your teacher by the September 19th due date. Use the checklists at the back of the packet to pace yourself and help meet deadlines. Each deadline signifies that an assignment needs to be returned to teacher and will be taken for a grade. Good luck & have fun! Kenitra Bennett kbennett@rhodesschool.org Science Fair Lead PLEASE SIGN AND RETURN: I have reviewed the Rhodes School Science Fair information and all due dates with my child and understand that a final project MUST be submitted on October 28, 2014 (REQUIRED). I further acknowledge that my child understands his/her responsibility to complete much of the work for his/her project at home, according to the enclosed timeline. I also understand that a rubric will be used to evaluate my child s completed project. Parent/Guardian Signature Date Student Signature Date
