Date: Thursday, March 6th, 2025
Project Turn-In: March 5th, 2025 Learning Stairs

We are excited to announce the Wolf Ranch Elementary Science Fair! This is a great opportunity for our students to explore scientific concepts and share their findings with classmates and the school community. Below are the details and instructions for participation.

Science Fair Topics

Students can choose from the following topics to base their projects on:

1. Solids, Liquids, Gas
   Explore the properties and characteristics of solids, liquids, gas. How do solids change under different conditions?

2. Heat and Light

Study the relationship between heat and light. How does heat impact the behavior of light sources, like lightbulbs or lasers? You could investigate how light intensity changes when different materials are heated or examine how heat affects the brightness and color of light.

1. Push and Pull

Push and pull are basic forces that affect movement.         `

1. Simple Machines
   Investigate the different types of simple machines (levers, pulleys, wheels and axles, etc.) and how they make work easier.

2. Solar System
   Create a project about the solar system, planets, moons, or space exploration. What makes our solar system unique?

3. Rock Types
   Learn about different types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic). How do they form, and what are their uses?

4. Food Chain
   Examine the relationships between producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem. How does energy flow through a food chain?
