The Science Fair will be on January 25, 2020, 7 AM - 12 PM hosted by Plainfield North High School. Parents, teachers, and students are welcome. See the schedule here.

Don't forget to bring your team's $12 CASH entry fee/donation to a science fair representative by January 20, 2020!

The answer is left open ended on purpose! Be creative, search for ideas. If you have a few general ideas in mind, just wait for the judging rubric to come out and see what will fit best! Your entry has to demonstrate a scientific principle, but the more creative the method, the better! You're welcome to invent something new or a model, and explain what scientific concepts it uses, or you're welcome to do a lab demonstrating a principle. The goal will be to construct/demonstrate a interesting scientific concept through a creative demo, model, etc. and present it through the concepts of science. As long as it connects back to science and you created the project, it's fair game!

This form needs to be filled out once PER TEAM. An individual may only be on one team. Please see the qualifications page for more details. This event is first come first serve. Registration closes December 20, 2019 at midnight.
