SCIENCE FAIR 2006 James B. Edwards  Elementary School Each year James B. Edwards Elementary holds a Science Fair for students in grades 1 - 5.  The purpose of the Fair is to motivate each student to explore the world of science and to provide an opportunity for students to experience using the scientific process. Students can enter a project from one of four categories - experiment, model, collection, or observation. First, second, and third place ribbons are given in each category. Honorable Mention ribbons are also awarded to those projects that were exemplary.  After the Science Fair has been held, winning projects can be viewed in our Media Center.  The winning projects are then judged again and a "Best in Show" winner is announed.  Students, parents, and teachers enjoy looking over the hundreds of entries at the Science Fair Open House.
