SCIENCE FAIR
The Elementary Science Fair is a wonderful way for elementary-aged students to participate in and experience a scientific project!
Due West Science Fair
We are so excited for this year’s Science Fair at Due West! Science Fair is an opportunity for students to investigate their own question, go through experimentation on that question, and draw a conclusion based on their investigations. It is a really valuable experience to learn how to do a project from beginning to end and present your own investigation for others. We hope that MANY of our Due West students participate!
All students grades K-5 are invited to participate.
Every participant will be invited to an awards ceremony on Thursday, February 27th, and the winners for each grade will go on to the county level competition*. The Cobb County competition will be held on April 19th.
*Kindergarten participants are NOT eligible to advance to the county level.
About Science Fair
The Elementary Science Fair is a wonderful way for elementary-aged students to participate in and experience a scientific project. Each science fair project must consist of a student-led scientific investigation (following accepted scientific methods). Parents are encouraged to guide students but not build the project. Remember, a good project is planned and developed over a period of time.
