Project Guidelines

🔬 All Hillcrest students are encouraged to participate.
🔬 Experiments should follow the Scientific Method:
Question → Hypothesis → Experiment → Data → Conclusion
🔬 Projects must be displayed on a tri-fold board, with space in front for additional materials if needed.
🔬 Please refrain from bringing items that could cause injury or create a mess. If such elements are essential to the project, they may be demonstrated through photos. If you have questions, please contact Bob Zemple at bobzemple@gmail.com.
🔬 During the school day, students will have the opportunity to present their projects to a parent volunteer and receive feedback.
🔬 Participants will also present their projects to their classmates and teacher as they tour the gym.

We look forward to seeing the amazing creativity and innovation from our Hillcrest students at this year’s Science Fair! 🚀🔬
