Science Fun Night
JOIN US APRIL 2ND FROM 6-8PM
Every great scientific discovery started with a question. How does this work? Why does this happen? What would happen if…? Now, students have an opportunity to make their own scientific discovery by asking and answering a question of their own.
This year's Science Fun Night will take place on April 2nd 2020 in the Green Valley Multi-Purpose Room, Library and classrooms. All students and their families are welcome to attend and be a part of the event. This is your student’s chance to become a scientist; using scientific method to answer a question of their own choosing. They will then present their findings to scientist-reviewers during Science Fun Night. Each participant will receive written feedback, as well as a participation pin.

- Any materials or tools you may have used during your experiment.
- There will be no open flames or live animals allowed during Science Fun Night.
SCIENTIFIC FORMAT
- Purpose: What question are you answering? What do you want to learn?
- Research: Find out as much about your topic as you can.
- Hypothesis: Based on the research you did, predict the answer to your question.
- Experiment: Design a test to confirm or disprove you hypothesis.
- Observation: Record what happened during the experiment. Use pictures and written observations to record your results.
- Conclusion: Was your hypothesis correct? Explain your results.
- Question: Does what you found out lead you to another question? What do you want to find out next?

WHAT TO EXPECT
Science Fun Night is more than just an opportunity to see a variety of student projects. There will also be different scientific demonstrations and experiments on display, that your students have been involved with over the past year in the science lab.
5TH GRADE STUDENTS
In previous years, it was a requirement for all 5th grade students to participate in the Science Fun Night, however this year that is no longer the case. Because of the new homework policy, no student will be required to design and execute an experiment for this event. With that being said, we still highly encourage any interested student to participate in Science Fun Night.
