What educators are saying

The science fair template my school provided was pretty confusing, so I opted to purchase this one. It went over really well and explained concepts in depth so parents could understand. The provided rubric was really beneficial and allowed students to know exactly what they would be judged on.

Description

A step by step science fair guide with workbook pages, tips, blank science journal, and poster board layout. It helps fourth and fifth graders create age-appropriate experiments with less parental guidance. Teachers can use as a classroom unit on the scientific method, science processes, and to help complete a whole-class project.
We will help make the science fair a fun and rewarding experience.

Don't be nervous when your child says they want to participate in the science fair.

Nervous about planning a science fair project. They will learn to perform experiments with at least 3 levels of the independent variable with 3-5 trials. Teachers and parents have all expressed how the methods in this workbook helped make the science fair positive and memorable.

Ways to use the workbook

  • Great for Science Fairs: A guide to help parents be the assistant and the student to take the lead.
  • Use to create a whole class science fair project. It saves so much time and is engaging.
  • Teachers can use the workbook to create investigations for classroom science units and to learn the scientific method.
  • Homeschoolers can use the method to explore topics throughout the year.
  • Great for group projects in class. Each group can create an original investigation about a topic they are studying and then share the results.

Is your fair virtual or being performed from home?

A pre-created template for Easel by TPT is included. We added text boxes, movable pieces, and a few extra tips. Just click "Open in Easel" on the product page. We included every page in the workbook but you can modify as needed. The answer keys are still there. You may also want to send the workbook in chunks to the students. Use caution if students are performing the experiment with their device next to the supplies. You may find you prefer to print the papers, but this gives you flexibility.

This workbook is intended to be done with the student as the leader and the teacher/help providing guidance when needed. It educates the adult as well as the student. Teachers will love how easy it is to create an original investigation. Students will love creating a hands-on project to call their own.

We use these workbooks for a workshop with parents and students to help guide them in creating their science fair projects. We find by providing this guide participation increases because parents feel they can assist their children.

This is part of a series. Each workbook expands until the students reach 4th and 5th grade when they will be working independently. The 4th and 5th-grade workbook can also be used with middle-level students.
