WHAT DO I DO WITH MY PROJECT WHEN THE FAIR IS OVER?

AFTER THE FAIR YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT. YOUR SCHOOL MAY WANT TO SHOW YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY IN AN APPROPRIATE AREA RESERVED FOR STUDENT WORK. CHECK WITH THE TEACHER AT YOUR SCHOOL TO SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY AS AN EXAMPLE OF STUDENT WORK.

IF YOU HAVE WON A PLACEMENT TO ATTEND THE CANADA WIDE SCIENCE FAIR (CWSF) THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY OR PERHAPS EVEN ADJUST YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY TO FIT THE CWSF REGULATIONS. CHECK WITH THE CWSF REGULATIONS IF THIS IS OF CONCERN TO YOU.

IF YOUR SCHOOL DOES NOT WANT TO KEEP YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY AND IF YOU DO NOT NEED YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY TO ATTEND ANOTHER SCIENCE FAIR THEN YOU MAY CHOOSE TO:

  • DISASSEMBLE YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY
  • RECYCLE ANY RECYCLABLE MATERIALS FROM YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY
  • RETURN ANY BORROWED ITEMS
  • KEEP YOUR BACKBOARD FOR USE IN FUTURE SCIENCE FAIRS.

ACTIVITY

  1. CHECK WITH THE TEACHER AT YOUR SCHOOL ABOUT DISPLAYING YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY IN THE SCHOOL FOR A FEW WEEKS.
  2. CHECK WITH THE TEACHER AT YOUR SCHOOL ABOUT KEEPING YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY IN THE SCHOOL FOR A FEW YEARS.
  3. CHECK WITH THE TEACHER AT YOUR SCHOOL IF YOU HAVE WON A PLACEMENT TO ENTER THE CWSF OR THE SCIENCE SHOWCASE. MAKE APPROPRIATE PLANS IF YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE PLACEMENTS.
  4. THINK ABOUT ENTERING THE VIRTUAL SCIENCE FAIR. THIS WOULD MEAN THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO TRANSLATE YOUR PROJECT TO A WEB BASED FORMAT. THIS SHOULD BE MINIMAL WORK AT THIS POINT. YOU HAVE YOUR PROJECT PICTURES THAT YOU COULD INCLUDE ALONG WITH YOUR PROJECT SUMMARY REPORT AND YOUR PROJECT LOG BOOK.

ASSIGNMENT

  1. DISASSEMBLE YOUR PROJECT DISPLAY.
  2. RETURN ALL BORROWED MATERIALS.
  3. KEEP YOUR BACKBOARD FOR ENTRY IN FUTURE SCIENCE FAIRS.
  4. IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO ENTER THE VIRTUAL SCIENCE FAIR THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO PREPARE YOUR PROJECT FOR ENTRY INTO THIS FAIR. GOOD LUCK!

ASSESSMENT
