Science Fair is an exciting tradition at Meramec Elementary.  

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this year’s memories!

Ready to find your spark?

Here’s what you need to know for this year’s Science Fair!

• Projects can be experiments, observations, collections, inventions, models, engineering, or research.

• Students may work individually or with a partner.

• All scoring rubrics & project templates can be found on the Meramec Science Fair web page. 

• Dr. Osborne will email your signed safety form (worth 10 pts) after receiving your safety plan after you complete the registration form. 

Required Format

Students may present their findings on a trifold display board with a logbook or digitally (submit powerpoint  and logbook as a pdf to scottosborne@claytonschools.net). My recommendation is to build the project as a powerpoint and print the slides for a trifold board if your child wants a physical display.
