Estabrook Science Fair

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

All Estabrook students from kindergarten to fifth grade are invited to participate in the Estabrook Science Fair scheduled for April 11, 2007. This is a non-competitive event and students may sign-up as an individual, small group (2-4 students) or in collaboration with parents as a family project. Participants are encouraged to ask a question and then design an experiment or inquiry that will help answer the question. Participants will create an exhibit, experiment, demonstration or some combination of the three. They will have a chance to discuss their findings with other students, teachers and visitors at the fair.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out and return the sign-up form along with a $5.00 check made payable to the Estabrook PTA and drop-off in the front office. Scholarships are available through Ms. Batten. For more information, please contact:

Lisa Kling (781) 674-1313 or lkling@rcn.com

Let these questions spark your imagination:

• Which brand of paper towels is the strongest?
• What material is the best conductor or heat?
• Which paper plane design is the fastest?
• What factors affect the size and growing rate of crystals?
• What is the effect of the different physical activities on heart rate?
• Does sunlight affect plant growth?
