1. Get a project idea
   Come to the (optional) brainstorming session in the Somerset library on January 11, 2006 from 7–8pm.  During this time, you will be able to use the library’s resources to help you come up with an idea for your science fair project.  A list of possibilities is on the reverse side of this attachment.   You can do a science fair project together with a friend.  Does that interest you?  Think about it.  

2. Register your project
   Complete a Somerset Science Fair Registration form and turn it in to the office by Friday, January 20th, 2006.  The Registration form is included in this packet as Attachment 4B (top half).  

3. Print the Science Fair Notebook
   Download the Science Fair Notebook for step-by-step instructions for creating your science fair project. You can find it on the Young Scientist Week website: www.somersetptsa.org/c_science.htm  

4. Get a display board
   The PTSA will be selling high-quality 2-ply white science project display boards before school (8:30 – 9:15 am) on Friday, January 13, 2006 for $6.  There will only be 200 science display boards available for purchase.  Checks should be made payable to the Somerset PTSA.   Boards will be sold in the main entry behind School Savings.  You can also purchase these at most office supply stores.  

5. Do your science fair project
   Remember to follow the instructions in the Science Fair Notebook.  

6. Attach a Project Identification Label to your project
   Please attach the Science Fair Project Identification Label to the upper left-hand corner of your project.  Multiple students working on a single project should fill out only ONE label.  The Project Identification Label is in this packet as Attachment 4B (bottom half).  

7. Check-In
   Bring your project to your classroom on Wednesday, February 8th, 2006.  (Each classroom will be called down to the gymnasium to set up their science projects sometime Thursday.)   

8. Take a tour
   Each classroom will tour the Science Fair on Thursday or Friday, February 9th or 10th.  Students will be given the opportunity to write a comment card for any project on display.  

9. Come to the Science Carnival
   Family members will be able to tour the Science Fair on Friday evening during the Science Carnival, 5:30 – 8:30 pm.  There will also be 14 fun, hands-on science experiments for students to try.  

10. Take your project home
    You must remove your project from the gymnasium as soon as the Science Carnival is over at 8:30 pm on Friday evening.  If you cannot attend the evening fair or if you need to leave early, you should make arrangements for someone else to remove your display for you.
