Science Fair

**The following letter went home with students today.  Check back here later for more updates and pictures.**

Phenix City Elementary School Science Fair

Dear Parents,

PCES will be holding a Science fair in February.  We will be working in groups of three and conducting our experiments in class.  Students will also be putting together a display board to explain their experiment.  This is a major project and will count as a major test grade.  The primary objective is for students to collaborate together to approach a problem scientifically.  This includes:

1.    Asking questions and forming a hypothesis

2.   Creating experiments to test those hypotheses

3.   Organizing data and drawing conclusions

4.   Summary of the findings

5.   Creating a science fair display

6.   Writing a report on the science experiment

Student groups will choose and conduct their experiment in class; the materials they need will be provided.

Thank you,
