What is the Science Fair?

  • The science fair is an opportunity for Blossom Hill students to BEE CURIOUS  while applying the scientific method to conduct independent research.
  • The final project of each student's research is exhibited in a school wide science fair where the student's efforts are displayed.
​What are the goals of the Science Fair?
  • To foster enthusiasm for science and engineering along with an understanding of the scientific method of inquiry in young students.
  • To promote an early, positive learning experience for all students in such areas as scientific literacy, self-confidence, presentation skills, originality, problem-solving, goal-setting, task-completion, and critical thinking.
What are the important dates?
  • Tuesday, January 5, 2016:  Kick-Off Assembly with Lawrence Hall of Science
  • The school is providing students with presentation boards this year. They can be picked up from the Flex Room after school at 12:40 pm, Wednesday, January 27th. Those who can’t make that time can pick a board up from the school’s front office after that date.
  • Friday, January 15, 2016: Applications due! IMPORTANT: If you are partnering with someone on a project, make sure you BOTH complete YOUR OWN INDIVIDUAL application form so that we can make sure that you both receive a medal of participation and t-shirt.  We STRONGLY encourage students to work with peers in the same grade. However, if you do partner with someone from a different grade, each participant must present the project individually, using their own boards.
