Parent support and assistance are essential to your child’s success. A general rule of thumb to go by is:
- 4th and 5th graders should be doing almost the entire science project by themselves.
- 2nd and 3rd graders should be able to do many parts.
- Kindergarteners and 1st graders will need help for most of the project.
We are confident the following benefits will result from your child’s participation in the Science Fair:
- ? Reinforcement of grade level science, literacy and math skills
- ? Fostering curiosity, awareness, and creativity
- ? Increased scientific knowledge
- ? Learning research techniques
- ? Growth in ability to work independently
- ? Having fun with science!
In addition to the opportunity to work on a project, the Science Fair provides students with an increased awareness of science and an opportunity for them to develop positive attitudes about themselves and
their work. The science project allows children to use critical thinking and problem solving skills learned in science and in math.
For more information and to have your student register to participate in the Science Fair, please see the Edison website: http://edisonextraenrichment.weebly.com/clubs-free-and-programs-paid.html or contact cindy_stroschein-lucas@dpsk12.org, Emily_pitman@dpsk12.org, or your student’s homeroom teacher!
