Extra Science Fair forms
Orlando Science School is holding a Science Fair on December 9th and students in grades 6 to 10 have been invited to participate. Hands-on scientific investigation and invention are the focus at our particular fair. Over an 8-week period, your student will design, test, analyze, and present a project that uses scientific methods to solve a problem. The sky’s the limit!
Please note that the bulk of the work will be done at home. Students will be given project guidelines and timelines at school, and teachers will check in with them periodically. However, much of the work will be self-directed. Parents are encouraged to offer emotional support and reminders, but to allow children to do the projects by themselves. Your student`s project will be due in the science classroom on November 28th, 2011. The project will be evaluated by the science teacher and the top projects from each science class will enter Orlando Science Schools 4th Annual Science Fair on December 9th, 2011. Students who are chosen as winners in our science fair will move on to the regional event in February and compete against other schools in our region.
We know what a huge undertaking a science project is, and we are so proud of all the students who participate in the Science Fair. The key words for parents to remember are: ENCOURAGE, ASSIST, AND PRAISE. After all, one of the primary results for your child in completing a science project is to build self esteem, pride, and confidence that they CAN finish a big project. Thank you for working with your child and providing them with an opportunity to be successful in the world of science.
Sincerely,
Ms. Corson OSS Science Fair Representative
