We are happy to announce that this year’s SCIENCE FAIR will be held in the All Purpose Room at Cloverly on Thursday, May 10, 2012.  All students who wish to enter a project should return the attached entry form by Friday, April 27, 2012.

Click here to open the Science Fair sign-up form.

This year’s fair will follow the same format as last year’s fair and will allow students to submit science projects in a broad range of categories.  Students are encouraged to participate by preparing projects geared toward the following five categories:

• Experiments/Investigations
• Demonstrations
• Research
• Collections (science-related only)
• Apparatus

Everyone who enters a science project will receive a Super Scientist Award.  Our media specialist, will have a cart of resources available in the Media Center for students to use in developing project ideas.  We will be sending out a follow-up form for students who have signed up to participate in the fair to specify what their projects will be.

Projects are due on Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Students can either bring their projects to school in the morning, or projects can be dropped off in the All Purpose Room between 3:00pm and 6:00pm on May 9^th.  The projects will be displayed for classes to view during the school day on May 10^th.  Parents and students can view the projects from 6:30pm until 8:00pm on the evening of May 10^th.

We encourage parents with scientific interests to contribute by setting up their own science fair displays showing their specific areas of expertise.  Please reserve your spot on the attached sign-up form.  We also need many parent volunteers to work during the fair setting up, chaperoning during both the school day and evening exhibition times, and cleaning up.  In particular, we need many parents to volunteer during lunch time on May 10^th to help cover lunch in the classrooms, since the All Purpose Room will be occupied with the Science Fair.

We look forward to your participation in our upcoming Science Fair.  Let’s work together so that our Science Fair will be a memorable and rewarding experience for your child.

2012 CLOVERLY ELEMENTARY SCIENCE FAIR

Please fill out this form if you and/or your child would like to participate in the Science Fair.  If you can help in any way, please fill out the parent sign-up.  We will contact you to confirm your availability and assign specific time slots within each category of volunteers.  Thanks for your support in this enormous effort.
