February 10th is LUNCH WITH A SCIENTIST day!
We have a wonderful group of scientists who have volunteered to come and talk to our students. As students stay in their classroom for lunch that day, please remember to PACK LUNCH, so that they don’t waste time waiting in line to buy from the cafeteria. Teachers will inform the students about the visiting scientist, his/her profession, in advance.
This is an excellent opportunity for the students to be exposed and get a sense of the various areas of the participating scientists’ work. The scientists will talk with the students about their studies, work, what they try to accomplish and what their daily jobs entail.
The Science Fair is on February 24, 2010
Let’s get ready and participate in our fun and non-competitive Science Fair. The packet with an entry form, schedule of events, project ideas, a volunteer form and a show board order form has been sent home. Please click here to download it.
We have already delivered over 100 science fair show boards and we continue doing it, as needed. If you need one, please send an order form with $5 and we’ll deliver it to your child.
Please send in entry forms by February 19th.
On the morning of the 24th, members of the Washington Academy of Sciences and parent volunteers will meet with the students and discuss their projects. Later in the day, all classes will observe the students’ projects. Finally, in the evening, families and friends will be able to see and hear all about the Science Fair projects.
We also invite you to volunteer by being a Science Fair Official, help with class visits or during set-up. If you have any questions or you wish to volunteer please contact.
