(Do not send registration forms to this address)
The purpose of WHSEF is to provide a science fair which is open to all homeschooled students. All participants will receive a medallion at the end of the evening. With the feedback students receive at this fair, they can improve their projects and continue on to regional and state science fairs.
If you didn’t attend a workshop and do not know what is expected at science fairs, please feel free to come and observe. You will learn even more if you volunteer to listen to presentations. Thirty homeschool students participated last year and twelve went on to state. Six of those students won state trophies.
The fair is only 6 weeks away. If your child still needs help choosing a topic, I recommend the following Selah website: http://www.selah.k12.wa.us/JHS/Brown/HowToDoAProject.htm
Please fill out the following registration form and return it by Jan. 31st, 2009. If your child wants to do a project involving humans or animals, contact me at kpbrighton@yahoo.com as soon as possible. These projects take extra time for approval before beginning experiments.
