Registration
To participate please fill out the online Registration Form. Please note registration closes on Thursday, February 12 so we can plan final logistics.
At the time of registration students do NOT need to know what their Science Fair project will be. Registration is simply to help us estimate how many students plan to participate.
If plans change after you register, no problem at all. Just send Amanda Murphy a quick email to let her know: amanda.wells.murphy@gmail.com
Science Fair Notebook
This year, we have introduced three different Science Fair Notebooks tailored to specific grade levels to better support students in their projects. The notebooks are designed to match age-appropriate learning and scientific exploration.
🔹 Kindergarten – 1st Grade: A simplified version with fun, guided prompts.
🔹 2nd – 3rd Grade: A structured notebook with more details on the scientific process.
🔹 4th – 5th Grade: A more advanced version incorporating full scientific method elements.
📌 How to Access Your Notebook:
1️⃣ Open the Science Fair Notebook folder
2️⃣ Select the notebook for your child's grade level
3️⃣ Copy it to your own documents or download it to get started!
Visit to find your notebook and get ready for an exciting Science Fair experience!
