Dear HRES Students, Parents, and Teachers :
We are pleased to announce the Highland Ranch Science Fair and Exhibition, to be held on Friday, March 16th, 2012, 4:30-7:30 p.m. in the MPR. This year, we will have guest scientists from UCSD Neurosciences, and engineers from SPAWAR, and General Atomics.
All students are invited to participate and all families are invited to attend the event! Students may work on an individual project, or work with a partner or small group (for younger students) to plan, conduct, and present the findings of a science investigation and/or experiment. Students may also choose to exhibit a science collection (e.g. rocks) or other project that communicates what they know about their subject to the audience.
Projects must be approved by classroom teacher and Science Fair Chair. Please plan accordingly, by submitting the Student Entry Form as soon as possible and NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, MARCH 9th!
How to Get Started: Don’t wait! Start now by reading all required documents (retrieve from “Important Links” section of blog) getting teacher and parent approval, and taking advantage of resources such as the school library, your teachers, and your parents to help brainstorm project ideas. Grade specific suggestions, helpful web-links, suggestions for parent support and other important information available here at the HRES Science Fair Blog
Students: Choose a topic that is truly interesting to you! The work must be SAFE, so parents are required to supervise and monitor any safety hazards. Parents are encouraged to help you, but you should be doing most of the work. Just do your best and have fun.
Parents: Please download the following forms from “Important Links and Resources” section of the blog:
1) STUDENT ENTRY FORM
2) SCIENCE FAIR RULES
3) SCIENCE FAIR HOW-TO
Teachers: Please review and approve project proposals before submitting forms to the “Science Fair Entries” box located in the Teacher’s Lounge. The Science Fair Chair will return the approval slips to you, with a list of participating students, to confirm receipt of entry forms. Thank you for helping to support our students!
To All: Project Boards should be dropped off in the MPR before school on Friday, March 16th, to allow for a class “sneak peek” at the projects. The evening event will include community groups, class exhibitions, and hands-on activities! Don’t miss it! Finally, GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!
Sincerely,
Shelley Glenn Lee, HRES PTA Science Fair Chair

The 2011 HRES Science Fair will have a nature theme! All students are encouraged (but not required) to consider doing a project related to nature--get outside! Do some backyard science this year and get to know your true neighbors--the plants and animals! For inspiration, read this article ...

Science Fair and Exhibition is Fast Approaching!
Dear Students and Parents,
The deadline for Student Entry Forms has now passed. If you submitted a form, you can now move forward with your project (assume you are "approved" unless you have received a phone call or email stating otherwise.) In the "Helpful Links and Resources" section to the right, there are two HRES documents for you to download and read: "How To Do A Project" and "How To Construct Your Board." The information contained in these documents are suggested and recommended, but not required. No grades will be assigned and participation is non-competitive. However, each student (or small group) will need to purchase and construct a display board--this is the most organized and efficient way to display information.
Please plan on attending the Science Fair and Exhibition with your child. Student participants should check-in between 5:00 and 6:00 to setup their space, make nametags, and prepare for the event to begin at 6:00. There will be many interactive displays, hands-on activities, and a lot of science to be shared. Stay tuned for a schedule of events and for an assigned time for each student to be posted at their display for interaction with the audience.
Projects may not be taken down until AFTER 8:00 p.m.
We need parent volunteers, so please contact Shelley at shelleyglennlee@gmail.com if you are available and interested.
Thanks...Please read older postings for more info...
