What: PETNS Science Fair

What is a Science Fair Project?
A science fair project is a unique way for students to pose questions for which they must seek out answers and to satisfy their own curiosity about the world around them. A science fair project is an experiment, a research effort, a collection of scientific items, or display of scientific tools presented for viewing. It represents the efforts of a student's investigation into some area of interest and provides a way for the student to share the results of those investigations. Through the development of a science fair project, students gain a first-hand appreciation of the work of scientists and the value of their discoveries.

PETNS Science Fair Project Rules & Guidelines:
- A project should include a display board and any important hands-on objects. Students are expected to be able to share/discuss their project with the judges. Presentations will be conducted during school on Monday the 10th of March.
- The display board may be a typical trifold display board available at local stores such as Easons, or it may be any type of free-standing cardboard. The display board must stand upright.
- Projects should include a title, clear description of what is being investigated, and what was learned. Graphs, charts, photos and other visual aids are encouraged.
- The project should be completed by the student at home. Parents may assist students where safety is an issue (drilling, cutting, etc.).
