Science Fair (Easel) Hoopla!

My students need tri-fold display easels to conduct their first-ever science fair!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Petuskey's classroom raised $802

This project is fully funded

My Students

At our school, third and fourth-graders have never experienced the dizzying thrill of the science fair. This is unfortunate, because our students have oodles of energy to spare, and because science fairs are an excellent preparation for the science PSSA that fourth-graders take in the spring.

Rumor has it that some of our students are not ready for the rigors of such science fairs; this is pure malarkey!!!

We are more than ready; we just need materials, the essential materials, at that. These materials will be guaranteed to showcase our data for the greatest visual impact.

My Project

All students, especially science students, like their work to look crisp, eye-catching, and unique. For science fairs, the trick is to use durable tri-fold display easels. These easels will proclaim, in large text, the critical sections of science fair data: essential question, hypothesis, materials, procedure, graphs, findings, and conclusion.

It's true: science fair easels are craft-intensive: hours of lettering, cutting, pasting and designing are necessary at-home, so these easels most be portable; luckily, these are the best easels made!

These easels will make the science data-gathering process look easy (it's not, but looks certainly count here!). Most importantly, this project will certainly take the sting, and the stigma, out of creating dynamic science fair easels. Everyone is welcome to participate, as it must be!
