The science fair is in March but the fourth grade does not submit the traditional science fair project.  This year, the students will complete the engineering design process!  Students will follow the STEAM methods of Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, and Improve to create their own prototype from a cooling fork, to waterproof boot covers, sock assistant, seat covers, and so much more!  Students will complete much of the project in class but will have to do the design and build part at home.  We will begin the process in January which gives about two and a half months to plan and prepare!
