The annual Harvest Elementary School Science/Special Interest Fair will be on Thursday, March 12, 2009

A Science Fair handbook and a copy of this form are both down loadable from the Harvest

Website under announcements as well as Mrs. McCormick's Quest Webite.

We would like to encourage all student scientists to think of a cool science fair project for this year’s fair.

Our children are surrounded by technology and the products of science. The purpose of the fair is to

give students the opportunity to understand the creative process by which these items are developed.

Students wishing to participate will choose a topic they are interested in, research it, and present their

findings on a formal display board. This is a wonderful way for all students to expand their factual

knowledge about science. Science Fair project ideas can be found in the non-fiction section of both

Harvest and the Saline District Library, the internet is another good source. Your child may work

individually or in a group. If they choose to work in a group, all participants must submit a registration

form signed by their parent.

Please note that the following items are not permitted: animals in the project display, fire,

dry ice, explosives, weapons, poisons, sharp instruments or active chemical reactions (a

volcano may be photographed and displayed on the board.)
