Science
Fair and Invention Convention
Attention Southeast Scientists!
written by Mrs. Susan Irvine, Enrichment Teacher
The Annual Southeast School Science Fair and Invention Convention is scheduled for Wednesday, November 18, 2009 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. All Southeast students are invited to participate in this exciting event.
Students may enter either the Science Fair or the Invention Convention or both! The SCIENCE FAIR is your chance to plan and conduct a simple investigation or experiment and show what you discover. The INVENTION CONVENTION is your chance to show your idea for a new way to solve a problem or make a job easier to do. Students who enter an invention will be competing to represent Southeast at the Connecticut Invention Convention.
Can’t think of an idea? Ask a friend, a relative (older brothers and sisters can be very helpful here), or a teacher for their ideas. Check the library or at school for books about science experiments and inventions. Maybe you will want to research a question you’ve always wondered about or invent a solution to a problem you’ve noticed. A great way to start is to click on the science links below. We’re very excited about a new link for Science Buddies which has a survey to help you select a topic; many science experiment ideas, tips and even an Ask an Expert section. We want you to think of something simple and interesting! The idea is for you and your family or friends to have fun with science.
You’ll need the Science Fair packet and/or Invention Convention packet to begin so if you can’t access or download them please let me know so I can copy one for you. Whether you need a printed copy of the packets or not, participants should return the sign-up form below so we can plan for the appropriate number of students. Thank you.
