Science & Discovery   

The Homeschool Science Fair is a chance for the homeschool community to celebrate and encourage the love of science amongst students. From stars to skittles, students in grades K-12 will practice the scientific method to test hypotheses, perform experiments, record observations, and draw conclusions. All science projects will be presented in the form of a report, display board, and demonstration. They will be on display to share with other students, parents and judges for prize consideration. Prizes will be awarded by grade, and students can choose to participate without prize consideration (non-competing students will receive participation certificates). All students welcome!  Registration closes on May 19th.  The supply fee covers medals and materials.  There is a 10% multiple student discount
