This year's 4th grade science fair will be held on April 3. We are gearing up for this big project and are starting to brainstorm some project ideas. March 7 is the deadline for coming up with a scientific question to investigate (i.e. Does the surface of the floor affect how high a ball will bounce when dropped from the same height?) Your child has a brainstorm worksheet that is due March 7. The experiment must involve some form of measurement (we will be graphing the data), so your child should consider that when deciding on a question. As we did last year, the assembly part of the project will happen at school, but the actual running of the experiment and gathering of data are to be done at home. We will be sending home an information letter to all fourth grade parents very soon.
