Chatham Park Elementary School

Science Fair

19th Annual Chatham Park Elementary Science Fair on Thursday, May 25th, 2023 from 7pm to 9pm in the cafeteria. The fair is a great way to explore science in a fun and interesting way and learn how to think like a real scientist! 

Participation is completely voluntary.  Sign up your student by completing the interest form. 

Your project can be about ANY kind of science that interests you such as biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, physics, etc.. It can be in the form of an experiment or a report. It should not be costly (typically under $10). We will provide free display boards for all participants and most projects involve materials found around the home. You may choose to do a project by yourself or with a friend from the same grade.

We will also be having a Science Fair Poster and Program design contest. An original science-based drawing will be selected and printed on posters that will be placed around the school and used as the cover art for the Science Fair Program.
