A Springboard for New ideas
Preschool and Kindergarten Science Fair Projects can often be collection rather than experiments.
Parents who are helping with these are encouraged to remember that children at this level will be evaluated at their developmental level. Projects are assessed according to a check list that often includes some combination of the following criteria:
- Creative Ability
- Scientific Thought
- Skill
- Thoroughness
- Clarity
As a guideline you can keep in mind:
- Your model or collection must be scientific in nature.
- Details of the model or collection must be accurately and clearly labeled in scientific language.
- Scientific facts, as well as personal observations and conclusions about the model or display are helpful in showing that you understand your project well.
- Include a poster with your collection or model. The poster should display your project title and any interesting information you would like to mention.
Some suggestions for collections:
- Grains
- Grains that are separated to those that are gluten free and those that have gluten.
- Foods that are gluten free
- Foods that are separated according to those that are gluten free and those that are not gluten free.
Some suggestions for models:
- A grain of wheat showing and including gluten.
- A grain of wheat and a grain of rice accenting the differences.
Extensions for the adventurous
- Sprout a seed
- Sprout a set of see
