STEM Fair Information

STEM Fair Parent Letter and Timelines

​
PS 39 STEM Fair for grades 3-5 is scheduled for Friday, May 1st at Camp Friendship!  

District 15 Science Fair is scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd at PS 130 from 2-4.  Everyone is invited to come!  Come check out all the amazing projects and interactive tables!
​

Why are STEM Fair Projects important? Because they…
  1. Motivate students to learn to use the scientific method
  2. Explore the practice of science, the characteristics of science, and the role of theories, laws, hypotheses, and models
  3. Promote real world application of science knowledge
  4. Engage students in hands-on learning
  5. Ask students to engage in higher order thinking
  6. Stimulate student’s own interests
  7. Provide a foundation for discovery, understanding, and problem solving skills
 
Steps of the Scientific Method - Scientists do not always follow these steps in this order or even go through all of them every time, but because it is a foundational learning block that students are taught and are familiar with we will follow it for the Science Fair. Students will:
  1. Ask a question and state a purpose
  2. Conduct Research
  3. Develop a Hypothesis
  4. Outline Procedures (materials, variables, step by step directions)
  5. Collect data
  6. Create a graph
  7. Draw a conclusion
