Younger children can present a science "show & share,"
while older children can choose to present a project in a similar manner,
or using the traditional science project approach.
family science activities

ENTRY CATEGORIES
Grade ranges are for reference, and level placement is at the parent's discretion.
All levels will include the judges giving out “compliment cards,” encouraging each student on an aspect of their project. Levels 2 & 3 can enter a traditional scientic method project, or a project in our STEM Project/Demo category. Levels 2 & 3 also have the option to enter for competition. Unless you specifically request for your student's projects to be near each other, the age group (levels) will be grouped together
​
Level 1
Science/STEM Show and Share (Pre-K through 2/3)
This will be ANYTHING related to science that the student wants to do and share with others. It can be a simple experiment (does not have to follow the full scientific method), a model or illustration of something STEM related, a demonstration, or a collection.
​
Level 2: Scientific Method Project
Elementary Science Fair Project (Grades 3/4 through 6)
This will be a project that asks a question and follows the scientific method to test and answer the question. These groups may be subdivided into life sciences, earth sciences, and physical sciences depending on the number of entries.
Option to select judged, or not judged.
​
Level 2: STEM Project/Demo
(Grades 3/4 through 6)
Projects under this category do NOT have to ask a question and follow the scientific method, carry out testing, and find results. These projects can be anything related to science, math, engineering, or technology, including a demonstration, presentation, model, or collection. This group may be subdivided into science, math/computer science, and engineering depending on the number of entries.

Level 3: Scientific Method Project
Secondary Science Fair Project (Grades 7 through 12)
