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:

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.
