District 58 Science Fair 2025-26:  Registration Open Dec. 1-19

Downers Grove Grade School District 58 invites all students in grades 1–6 to participate in this year’s Science Fair!  Participation is voluntary, but we encourage every student to join the fun and share their curiosity for science!

Event Information:

Event Date:      Saturday, January 24, from 8:00–11:00 a.m.

Location:          O’Neill Middle School

 

Registration Details:

Registration will be open from Monday, December 1 to Friday, December 19.

To register, please complete the Science Fair Registration Form.

You will need your child’s District 58 username, which can be found in the PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Students may register individually or with one partner. (If partners are in different grade levels, follow the rules for the older grade level.)

Only one adult should complete the registration form per project. For partner projects, list both parent/guardian emails so everyone receives important updates.

 

Project Information: 

All Science Fair projects will include three parts.

  1. An exhibit
  2. A written report
  3. An oral presentation

 

Additional Information and Resources:

A team of two judges will objectively evaluate the Science Fair entries using the following Science Fair Evaluation Form. Feedback will be provided on which elements are observed or not observed.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to support their children and ensure they follow instructions correctly. However, the Science Fair is an independent project, and children are expected to complete all manipulations and measurements for their experiments independently and to create all drawings and charts for their boards, without parental help.

For more information, please check with your student’s school.  

 

We can’t wait to see our young scientists in action and celebrate their creativity and discoveries!

 

Sincerely,

The District 58 Science Fair Committee
