Stevens Creek elementary is proud to support Science education through enrichment programs like the Science Fair. The Science fair is held annually in the first week of March. The Science fair project is voluntary for all students (grade 1-4). Entire 5th grade is required to participate in the fair. The goals for the Science fair are to introduce students to the Scientific Method, engage students in problem solving through a variety of methods, sharpen students writing skills and presentation skills.

It is important that students and not parents decide to participate in the Science fair. The objective is to motivate students to display their creativity and how science relates to every part of their lives. Please encourage your child to do a project at his/ her level. The Science fair is not a competition. There is no judging. Every participant is a winner and gets a participation certificate.

The Scientific Method is the focus of the project. Students should understand and follow the steps of the Scientific Method. The steps include identifying a problem, research, hypothesis, procedure, result and conclusion. The project categories include experiment, demonstration and collection.

We hope students will have a wonderful experience by participating in the Science Fair. They are the Scientists for their projects. Explore! Learn! Have fun!
