Stony Brook Elementary Science Fair

March 23, 2024

Calling our All Star young scientists! It's time for the Stony Brook Elementary School annual science fair!

All students are encouraged to participate by working on a science project at home, and presenting it proudly at the Science Fair for the Stony Brook community to see. This site provides everything you need to know about the science fair, and other helpful resources.

Our science fair is non-competitive. Our goal is to encourage scientific exploration and discovery and promote a deep lifelong passion for science. Each participant will have an opportunity to briefly present their work in person on March 23rd, and to their class during the following week.

As an alternative to the traditional science fair project, Mrs. Hammill will be offering an in-person STEM Challenge this year! This is a great option for families who cannot complete a science project at home. Students can participate during their designated science fair time 9am-10am for PreK-2nd grade and 11am-12pm for 3rd-5th grade. Details on the STEM project will be shared upon arrival at the Science Fair in the school Science Lab. All materials will be provided. Students simply need to show up on time with their enthusiasm for problem solving!

Space is limited to 15 students per session. Sign up using the registration button above.

Student must choose either the at-home project or in-school STEM Challenge. They cannot do both.

Step 1

Think of a problem or topic for your project. See ideas hub for inspiration and helpful resources.

Project ideas should come from the students, and the project should be driven by them. For especially young kids, parents may provide some guidance, but it is important that the kids be able to call the project their own.

Step 2

Gather the information and materials needed to complete your project at home. Share pictures!

Parents should use their best judgment in deciding when to get involved, such as when there is a potential safety issue.

Step 3

Create your presentation and showcase at the science fair, and to your classmates during school day.

Most students opt for a tri-fold cardboard / poster board to display their work, but any type of presentation to explain their work is great!

Let us know if you'll be attending! REGISTER >>

Venue:

Stony Brook Elementary School

Cafeteria

Students will arrive during their scheduled times and have 15-30 minutes to set up.
Interviewers will then come to each station to conduct their interviews.
Students are welcome to share a demonstration of their project as long as it is safe to do so. Please note: Students and their families are responsible for setup and *clean up* of their demonstration.
Any special accommodations required for your project, especially access to electrical outlets, must be made in advance of the Science Fair so we can position you appropriately in an area with power access.
