Science Fair

• Models (including volcanoes and robots) cannot be accepted 
• Projects involving bacteria and mold cannot be accepted, as they can be hazardous to student’s health 

The young scientist involved should be the primary investigator, however, parents are encouraged to help with both ideas and execution of the experiment on an age-appropriate level. 

Volunteer judges evaluate projects using rubrics provided by Cobb County.

Students can type up their report and elements of their display. However, the lab notebook should be handwritten, and any additional hand drawn or written elements on the display are sure indicators of student involvement in the project and are highly encouraged. 

A tri-fold project display board is the appropriate form of display for these projects. The display must be able to stand on its own without slipping or falling. They may also have items to be displayed on the table in front of the poster (the equipment used in the experiment, etc). The display should be no more than 3 feet tall, 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Oversized projects will not be accepted because of space limitations.

 Students in grades 1 – 5 will be required to present their projects during judging. This is to help them prepare them for the County Science Fair should they be awarded first place in their grade group.

Yes! We encourage all young scientists to participate. Kindergarten students, however, are not eligible to go to the County Science Fair and are not required to present their project during judging.
