The STEM Science Fair is supported by the PTA to enable our students to learn about and apply the scientific method.
The STEM Science Fair Theme for the 2022-2023 School Year is:
"BE CURIOUS!"
Projects should include
Hypothesis ♦ Data ♦ Procedure ♦ Pictures ♦ Graphs ♦ Conclusion ♦ Summary
Show the scientific research process!
"BE CURIOUS!" Find something you are curious about and work through the scientific process to develop a unique and original project!
DEADLINE for online registration is Thursday, December 8, 2022 – Register for 2023-2024 STEM Fair
To register Click this SignUpGenius Link. Add STUDENT'S name, student's grade, and a PARENT/GAURDIAN'S Email. If you are doing a group project, only one group member needs to register, but please add the names of each group member in the comment box.
Kindergarten – 4th Grade students may begin their projects immediately after registering on SignUpGenius.
5th Grade students will need to coordinate with Ms. Alamo prior to beginning their projects.
Please read over the Granite School District STEM fair Handbook. It will answer many questions you may have about how to get started and what makes a good project: 2023 STEM Fair Handbook
Choose a topic, 5th graders get approval from your teacher, and set up a Project Notebook to record all your information. The Project Notebook is a great tool, and students who use it will earn extra points from the judges, so document everything! The Science and the Engineering Notebook can be downloaded here: STEM Science & Engineering Project Notebooks
All 5th grade students need to fill out the "Project Pre-Approval Form” that can be found here: Project Pre-Approval Form. Please make a copy of this form before turning it in. K-4 grades only need to fill out the registration above.
Create your project using the Science or Engineering Project Templates: Science Project Templates
5th Grade students who win or place in either the science or engineering category will go on to compete in the District STEM Fair in January, with a chance to then compete at the State STEM Fair at the University of Utah for a share of tens of thousands of dollars in cash prizes and scholarships!
IMPORTANT! If a student’s circumstances change after they register, and they are no longer able to participate in the Cottonwood STEM Fair, the deadline to opt out is December 16, 2022. Students/parents must cancel their registration from the SignUpGenius form on or before December 12, 2023.
Students who do not have access to a Chromebook, computer, or printer at home can pick up a paper copy of the forms in the office.
