Gombert Science Fair
Register to participate.
All young scientists wishing to display a project at the fair must register in advance through this online form. We strongly encourage early registration in order to reserve your space and your project board. Final registration deadline is April 22.
Projects should be student driven.
Project ideas should come from the students, and the project should be driven by them. Parents should use their best judgment in deciding when to get involved, such as when there is a potential safety issue. For especially young kids, parents may provide some guidance, but it is important that the kids be able to call the project their own.
Working with someone else.
You may work on your project independently, or you may optionally work with a partner who is also a student at Gombert Elementary, for example, a classmate or a sibling. A maximum four students can register together for one project. Each student should participate and present a part of the project.
Need help choosing a topic?
When it comes to choosing a topic, the sky is the limit! What have you wondered about? The best topics come from your own genuine curiosity about how something works, or why something is the way that it is. But if you have trouble thinking of something on your own, the library and internet are full of resources to help you choose a topic. NO PROJECTS INVOLVING FIRE OR OPEN FLAMES.
Judging and awards.
Cast your Vote!! Voting will be done by all attendees. 1st place for grades K-2 and 3-5 will receive an award. All participants will receive a prize. This is open to the school community, so come by even if you don’t have an experiment.
Volunteers needed!
A big event like the science fair wouldn't be possible without the help of numerous volunteers. We have all kinds of different jobs to be done, so if think you can spare some time on the day of the fair, we would love your help. The main need is for a group a parents to serve as non-competitive judges ("gurus") to spend time with each and every participant to learn about that students project. Please contact Missy Ernst at lilianna28@gmail.com and sign up now!
Display boards!
Early registrants get a free, tri-fold presentation board. This is a great way for students to easily organize and display their project. While supplies last.
