Competition Brings Challenge

Two girls working on a robotics project together, connecting wires to a small robot or device. One girl with glasses and a burgundy sweater, and the other girl with long braided hair and a white furry vest, are focused on the task.

Science fair projects help to promote critical thinking, problem solving, and research.

Allow your children to challenge themselves to try new things and make big discoveries!

By participating in a science fair, homeschool students of grades K through 12 are encouraged to dig deep into something new with the benefit that comes from competition.

Student registration is $15, or snag the early bird price of $7 through 1/20/27.

All projects should:

  1. Consider a problem or question.

  2. Allow the student to form a hypothesis.

  3. Test the hypothesis.

  4. Show how the scientific method was used to determine the results.

  5. Please use the diagram to create your project board.

  6. Samples, a lab report & photos are all recommended, depending on your project.

  • Science Fair Registration Rules

    Eligibility
    Students ages 5–18 who are enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade are eligible to participate. Students should be homeschooled. Students who are homeschooled through a hybrid program or participate in a homeschool co-op are also welcome.

    Project requirements

    • Projects must be the student’s own work, with help from an adult limited to appropriate guidance and supervision.

    • Each project must include a testable question or hypothesis and use the scientific method to evaluate it.

    • Students should explain what they tested, how they tested it, what data or observations they collected, and what their results show about the hypothesis.

    • Conclusions should be based on the results—even when the results do not support the original hypothesis. Projects are judged on the student’s process and learning, not on whether the hypothesis was correct.


    Safety

    • Projects must be safe to conduct, transport, and display. Students must follow adult supervision and safety directions throughout the project.

    • Projects involving people, animals, chemicals, heat, electricity, tools, or other potential hazards must be reviewed and approved by the fair organizers before the student begins testing.

    • Projects may not include dangerous substances or activities, such as explosives, weapons, toxic chemicals, or harmful biological materials.

    • The fair organizers may ask a student to modify or remove a project that presents a safety concern.

    • Before registering: Be ready to provide the project title, question or hypothesis, a brief description of the testing process, and any materials or procedures that could raise safety concerns.

  • Yes! Unite Homeschool Network wants to collaborate with homeschooled families of many types. Students who attend any of the local co-ops, hybrids or school online are eligible to participate.

  • Scoring categories are used to allow for a more equal experience. These are:

    • Early Elementary (K-3)

    • Upper Elementary (4-5)

    • Middle School (6-8)

    • High School (9-12)

  • Yes. Topics and project focus is allowed to be altered or adjusted at any time. Upon arrival, simply enter the new project title at the registration table.

  • Students who place in the top 3 of their grade level category will recieved a Science Fair t-shirt with top level winners receiving additional prizes, based on the prizes received from our sponsors and donors.
