The Science Fair is on Thursday, February 2, 2012 The Science Fair is an opportunity to embark on a great scientific adventure. All Walnut Acres students, Grades K-5, are encouraged to think like young scientists and to submit a project in any science-related field. Projects can be as varied as their interests. Sports, music, art, rocketry, psychology, food, computers...whatever interests them can become an interesting project. Through their projects, students will discover that science is found all around them. All grades participate, and every child receives a participant ribbon! Three projects from the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades will be entered into the Mount Diablo Unified School District Elementary Science Fair.Participation in the science fair is mandatory for all 5th graders this year. As in previous years, there will be class walk-throughs and an open house in the evening, so all students and their families can enjoy the Science Fair projects.
