SAS SCIENCE FAIR 2024:
SUSTAINABILITY
SAS Science Fair is held by the Science Club to promote learning Science, either Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, among SAS students.
To enter, students must investigate a certain problem or research question, and come up with an project of experimental design to solve it. Students can choose to focus on either the Biology, Chemistry, or Physics aspects of the theme in 2024: Sustainability.
You can choose any of 3 subjects and participate in the fair. There are resources and some rubrics provided to assist you.
Your works will be evaluated by multiple SAS high school Science teachers from all Biology, Chemistry, and Physics departments. Teachers include Ms. Berghem, Dr. Price, Mr. Glenz, Mr. Page, Mr. Knuffke, Ms. Flanagan, and Ms. Wood. All teachers will follow the rubric and names of participants will be anonymous during judging to avoid any bias.
Project submissions will open from January 15 to April 20, 2024 at midnight. You must meet the deadline, or otherwise, your work will not be accepted.
Contact Science club if you have any questions!
