2014 Science Fair

Thanks for checking in! We'll be planning the next science fair before we know it!

Tech gone wild!

What do you do when you get sick on science fair day? Why Skype with the judges, of course!

Kellan Daughtry was under the weather today (get well soon, buddy!), so he skyped with the judges in order to participate in the fair.

Awesome!

How are your projects going? We have celery and grapes and paint chips and salt all over our house! To quote Ms. Frizzle:

"Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!"

And have fun learning about the scientific method!

Call for Judges

We will need a panel of judges to examine each project and score it according to a rubric.

The team will be composed of:

1) Homeschool parent--someone who currently homeschools or has many years of experience homeschooling.

2) Scientist--someone with a background in science, like a doctor, a veterinarian, a pharmacists, an engineer, etc.

3) A member of the community--someone involved in community activities, like a business man or the director of a community organization

Judges may NOT have a child participating in the fair.

We would prefer the judges to plan on being involved at the fair from 11-3, with a break for lunch. However, if he/she can only be present for certain categories, we might be able to arrange shifts.

If you are interested, please contact:

SCIENCE FAIR INFORMATION MEETING

An informal meeting to discuss the science fair will be held on:

NOVEMBER 1, 2013

at 7:00

at GRASSROOTS COFFEE SHOP

in Downtown Thomasville

Demonstration v. Experiment

Please note that all science projects need to be experiments that address a very definite question. While volcanoes and solar systems are fascinating, the science fair is about exploring the scientific method.

DECEMBER 11, 2013

The Thomasville Homeschool Science Fair has been set for December 11, 2013. It will be held at the Thomas County Library in Thomasville. Start thinking of project ideas!
