If you are a student in grades 2-6, then the GATEway Science Fair is for you! This is your chance to learn what it is like to be a scientist! Before the Science Fair, think of a topic that interests you, then do an experiment at home to learn more about it. Present your experiment with pictures, words, and graphs on a display board. Bring your board to the Science Fair to explain your project to reviewers who are science professionals in our community. You'll see a fun Science Museum presentation and receive a certificate of participation, written reviews of your project, a snack, and a cool t-shirt!
The science fair will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2012, from 12:30 to 4:45 p.m. at the Mayo Clinic Gonda Building. Public viewing starts at 4:15 p.m. Register early because space is limited. Register online at www.rochesterce.org/youth or through the Winter Community Education brochure. The $12 fee includes a t-shirt if registration is mailed by February 3, 2012. Late registrants might not receive t-shirts. See www.rochestergateway.com for full information. Financial assistance may be available to help with the costs of preparing a project.
