INFORMATION ABOUT THE 2025 SCIENCE FAIR

Cu-WHOO-rious about science? All students in Grades 2-5 are invited to become Fiske scientists and take part in the 2025 school science fair!


The Fiske School PTO hosts the annual Science Fair where students enthusiastically share their creative scientific explorations! Let’s celebrate our young learners as they delve into the scientific method, present their findings – and maybe teach us adults something new!

 

Please encourage your Fiske student to be part of the 2025 FISKE SCIENCE FAIR, which will take place in the school gym on FRIDAY, March 14th.

 

  • Call for Cu-WHOO-rious Scientists 

Please register using this form.  Registration is open from Jan 13 - Jan 31, 2025. Please encourage your scientists to discuss with their friends, brainstorm on project topics and register.

 

This year, we have a single registration form which will intake both project topic and group information. 

 

Project Selection Guidance

 

If your scientist needs a little project help or inspiration, Ms. Conant, Fiske Librarian, will have resources available to students and will announce this during regular library times in January. Furthermore, please refer to the science fair website for examples of how to put a project together, the scientific method, and so forth. 

 

If you need help brainstorming ideas, or have any questions about the Science Fair, we will be hosting 2 virtual sessions to brainstorm with any scientists looking for inspiration. 

 

 

  • Be a JUDGE!

You have a unique opportunity to get to meet and interact with some bright young minds, and fuel their scientific curiosity! If you have a background in a STEM field and want to support the cause – please volunteer to be a JUDGE by filling this form by Jan 31, 2025.
