The Don Callejon Science Fair will be held April 5, 2012. Qualifying students will represent Don Callejon School at the District Science Fair, May 16th. The information in the Science Fair Handbook should help your child plan and complete a science fair project. These projects give the students an opportunity to engage in scientific questioning, maintain accurate records, and apply the skills and processes of scientists to do a project.

Please be aware that students in grade 5 are required to complete a science fair project. Students in grades K-8 can participate in the school science fair, with a complete project.

However, only grades 4-8 are able to participate in the district science fair. Winter break would be a good time for your child to start researching a topic for their project. Most projects take time to complete as multiple tests are required to meet the expectations and to get accurate results.
