MHEA Science Fair
The 2019 Science Fair will be held Friday, March 1, from 9:15 am - 1:00 pm at Incredible Pizza, 1245 N Germantown Pkwy, Cordova, TN! Cost: Students $10 (buffet and $5 gift card), adults $7 (buffet only), children 3 and under FREE. It is Incredible Pizza policy that all of those entering the building pay for a buffet. No refunds. MHEA membership required.
General Guidelines: Identify a scientific problem or question and follow the scientific method to explore it. Be sure to include your problem, hypothesis, materials, procedure, results, conclusion, and for middle and high schools students -- a typed lab report. Present your project on a tri-fold display board. Please do not put your name on the front of your project or on your lab report. Be sure any photos included in the project do not identify the student. Projects should be labeled with the student’s name on the back of the display board.
Lab Reports (Middle and High School Requirement):
Colleges expect entering freshmen to be able to complete a science lab report independently. Students need to be exposed to creating lab reports long before they enter college. Help your student be prepared for their lab science classes by having them enter the MHEA Science Fair. The MHEA Lab Report Boot Camp (link below) will give your student step-by-step instructions for creating this important document. Lab reports should be 1-2 pages in length.
