Middle School Science Fair 2021-2022

   

This year’s seventh and eighth-grade Science Fair project will be introduced to students starting in the next few weeks.  The project may cover any topic in the science or engineering field. Students should consider their own personal areas of interst and work to identify a problem to solve or question they want answered. Guided assignments for each portion of the project will be provided in class leading up the the fair. Inquiry and the scientific method must be present in the execution of the project.

Students will have a graded interview and will be given the option of entering their project in the Reading-Berks Science and Engineering Fair. For more information on the Reading-Berks Science and Engineering Fair please visit the RBSEF link.
