Simon Fraser Elementary School

About the project

Simon Fraser Elementary School’s Science Fair is a 3-day project focusing on the systems of the human body. Students in grades 4 to 7 (ages 9-12) will be selecting their own topics and will be creating a poster board or other project. The final projects will be displayed to the rest of the school and for parent viewing on the last day of the project (the day of the Science Fair!)
