This week is our annual Science Fair. Still time to sign-up to participate!
Bring out the scientist in your child and be a part of the Blythe Park’s Science Fair to be held this Thursday at 5:30pm prior to Spring Open House. RSVPs are due by Wednesday, April 27th. Go to www.blytheparkpta.org and click on the Science Fair button located on the right bar to sign-up your scientist.
If we have 20 or more students sign up to participate in the science fair, we will have a special “Lunch with the Scientist” program after the Science Fair.
Need to Know Details:
Students will conduct their own science experiment at home to either display or demonstrate at the Science Fair. Each student’s display will be set-up on a card table. There will be no judging. Each student will receive a participation award. Students may work individually or in a group of no more than two students. Each participating student will be required to follow the five steps of the Scientific Method and complete and bring the Scientific Method worksheet with their experiment. Participation is optional.
