Your child has the exciting opportunity to participate in the
29th
Oakdale
District Science Fair!
To enter, your child must complete the Science Fair Application
available below. The deadline to return the Science Fair
Application is Monday, February 13, 2012. This informational packet includes Science Fair Event
Schedules, General Instructions and Requirements, Required Project
Elements, Judging Standards, OJUSD Live Animal Research Plan, and
suggested organization for a typical science project. All of this
information as well as pictures of winning science fair boards are
also available below.
Classroom teachers
may offer limited assistance to participating individuals or groups,
however, the bulk of the project is expected to be completed by the
student(s). The Oakdale Joint Unified
School District and area
businesses will recognize student efforts and achievements in science
at the Awards Ceremony on March 21, 7pm, at Magnolia Auditorium.
Thanks again to the
generous donation of the FES Hall, teachers will have the opportunity
to take their students on a walking field trip to view district
science projects. Information about class visitations will be provided
to each elementary site.
Student
Scientist Evening: Please join us Wednesday, March 14, 6:00-7:00 pm, to hear Oakdale
students share their science projects. Students who have projects displayed will be asked to “host”
their project to give visitors a first hand account of their
experimentation. Student
scientist participants will be entered in a science drawing for
special science prizes!
Live Animal Research: Students observing
or testing live animals
must complete OJUSD
Live Animal Research Plan. More details can be found in General Instructions and
Requirements.
County Science Fair: 10-15 selected winning projects (K-8th) from each
site will be chosen to enter the Stanislaus County Science Fair, May
14-18,
2012 at the Martin
Petersen
Event Center,
