How can parents help?

NOTE: Parents are encouraged to assist their child in all aspects of the development of the Science Fair Project. However, it would be most beneficial for the child to  perform at least 50% or more of the project.

An example of a Science Fair project about Seeds


Here are some ways you can help your child
(but not limited to these):

 

Suggest Topics to your child.


Study various sources (books, periodicals, Internet…etc) on Science Projects in order to better assist your child in the Science Project development process.

Suggest resources for your child to research
(libraries, museums, Internet…etc.)

Transport your child to various resources (libraries, museums, science labs…etc.) that might assist him
in his research.

Purchase of materials, if needed. Many materials may be found in the parents’ home or work place without any additional cost.

Edit your child's notes, logbook, and written report
for spelling, grammar, and clarity.

Check your child's math for accuracy and appropriateness.

Assure that your child's project is safe for all concerned.

Help your child put together the Science Project display and make sure all required items are
displayed and organized.

Provide lots of encouragement and praise for your child.

It is our hope, that the Ilchester Science and Technology Fair will be an 'enjoyable' and 'meaningful' learning experience for all.
