Combine Fundraiser and Elementary School Science Fair

Science is the one subject in elementary schools that teachers do not focus enough on. They are busy teaching history, math, and reading. All of those subjects are necessary, but science is the subject that creates imagination and excitement which later translates into invention and new technologies. Science fair projects for elementary schools are a great way for kids to get excited about science.

If you are holding an Elementary School Fundraiser than consider holding it at the same time as your science fair. It's a perfect theme for your elementary school fundraising project.

Science fairs are always a highlight for any elementary student. The great thing about these science projects is that you can do what ever you want. The teacher cannot tell you exactly what to do. The kids have to create something that they thought of, and then go through the scientific method to prove or disprove it. They also get to present it to the class, and if it is good enough they can go to the city, district, regional, or even national level. It is always a fun event for every kid involved.

There are also elementary school science lessons that get kids excited. In fact, almost every science lesson is exciting. They are so much more entertaining than reading books and learning about history. The kids get to experiment hands on and learn about how science is constantly surrounding us. A popular science lesson is the parachute egg experiment. This is when the teacher gives the students a few supplies like toilet paper, an egg, a roll of tape, and a small box. Then the teacher explains that the students need to create something that will protect the egg and not let it crack when the drop if from a two story building. The kids have an hour two create this parachute or box or whatever they want to make. Then each kid tests theirs one by one to see if they passed. This is such a fun experiment because it gets the kids talking and thinking instead of just sitting and listening. Teachers also like it because it is a fairly cheap experiment, (although cleaning it up is not always fun).

Whether it is a science fair project or a science lesson, getting kids excited about science is the most important thing. Many famous inventors and scientists were young kids once with a science fair project and a little dream. Keeping kids excited about science is not only benefiting the kids, but will also benefit us in the years to come when they invent new vaccines and inventions that will change our lives.
