We Have A Scientist!

Isabell Met, a 3rd grader in Mrs. Cornett's class, has had fun with science over the break! She has been watching the chemical changes of metal in various liquids and chemicals.

Here are some pictures of her working on her project!

Way to go Isabell!!!

Judging Sheet

***Note to Parents***

This is what the judges will be using to judge the projects. It is a pretty simple judging sheet. There is one part I would like to talk about. On the section Child Oriented it says, "Does the project show evidences of having been done by the child?" Does that mean as a parent you can't help your child? No, but we do want to see that the child has had the opportunity to think through the project and put the project board together. We are not looking for perfection. The main purpose of the science fair is for kids to have fun doing science not parents showing off their skills.
