Dear Families,
We are so excited to participate in Science Showcase this year. Each school may submit up to four projects to represent their school at the District Science Showcase. Students will present their projects in class and then four projects will be chosen to represent Ridgecrest for the District Science Showcase.Guidelines:
Photographs are a great way to show and explain an experiment in action. The following
components may NOT be part of the display: sharp objects, glass, food, liquid (including
water), chemical, microbe, laser operation, unshielded wiring, temperature exceeding 70
Degrees C, brand names of products, pictures of students (without signed parent
permission), loud or distracting sound, bright or distractive light, pressurized gas,
unshielded belt, pulley, chain or moving part may be displayed.
Projects that do not follow the guidelines stated above will not qualify to participate at the
District Showcase.
Below you will find the Inquiry Guide and a list of the many options students have for this
year’s Science Showcase: Experiment, Field Study, Engineer Design Process,
Model Simulation, and Research.
