What is the benefit?
Third, exhibitors are recognized in as many ways as possible for their effort. They receive
a participant ribbon, certificate, gift packet, and then they earn a placement ribbon and
have the opportunity to earn specialty ribbons, which in each grade division include
Grand Champion, Reserve Grand Champion, Most Original, Best Display, & Best Interview.
Sponsors have made it possible since 2002 to award $100 and $50 savings bonds to our
Grand and Reserve Champions, respectively. Help us to be able to continue honoring
our exhibitors and be a sponsor!! See our Sponsors section for more details.
Second, Dads do our judging. Malachi 4:6 is why. Check it out. God is faithful in fulfilling
His Word. Some of our judges have been with us since the beginning!
First, most fairs require an experiment to be associated with every type of project.
The three types of projects are - 1. Collection, 2. Model / Demonstration, & 3. Experiment.
We do not require an exhibitor to do an experiment for the first two. Please review the
"Science Fair" tab for more specifics on each. Our registration packet includes how each
is scored, so that each exhibitor is properly prepared.
How are we unique?
We do everything we can for the fair to be a positive and encouraging experience for our
exhibitors. We want them to come away with a love of learning and science. We are unique.
As part of our vision, in 2005 we began offering a Science Fair Workshop.
Saturday, January 26th, is the date set aside for 2013!! This is our way to help prepare more
of our home school families to take part in a science fair.
It is not necessary, however, to come to the workshop in order to participate in the fair.
See our Workshop section for more details.
In 1996, God gave the ICARE home school support group a vision for hosting a science fair to
fill a need, especially to our high school students. In public school, students participate in at
least one science fair and it was time for home school students to have a venue for the
opportunity to gain the skills learned by being a science fair exhibitor. From this vision our
science fair began in 1997 and continues today to serve K - 12th grade home school students.
What is our vision?
1. Gives an opportunity to explore God’s creation with your children.
2. Science is a window into who God is.
3. Teaches:
· Research skills
· Goal setting
· Public speaking
· Visual aid presentation
4. Family affair – Everyone learns, helps, grows, & gets in touch with their creative side.
5. Stretches us – you know – gets us out of our comfort zone!
