UPCOMING EVENTS 

April 17, 2019: Science Fair & S.T.E.M. Night

6 p.m. – 8 p.m Chinook Middle School (Commons Room)

The Science Fair and S.T.E.M. Night will be held on Wednesday evening on April 17^th at Chinook Middle School in the Commons Room.   With Clyde Hill Elementary being rebuilt this year, this is a great opportunity for the community to get together, see some friends and staff that they have not seen in a while, and have dinner as there will be a food truck on site. In addition to viewing students’ project boards, there will be hands-on activities!  

Registration for Science Fair is now CLOSED

Parents will also need to drop off their student’s boards at Chinook 1 hour prior to the start of the Science Fair on Wednesday, April 17^th.

SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT

Students are to provide an inquiry-based science project for display at the Science Fair.  In this project, the student uses the scientific method (question, hypothesis, experiment, results, conclusion) to complete an age-appropriate experiment.   The inquiry process is then detailed with photos and explanations which are mounted on a display board .
