2012 Edison Expo Fair will be on Tuesday, March 20, 2012

 
The 2012 Edison Exposition will be an exciting science fair for all grades showcasing original inventions, science concepts and experiments.

  • Virtually everything you use today came from someone’s imagination. Thomas Edison remains one of the great inventors in world history!    
  •  
  • Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. It recorded sound and played it back. Today, we have the iPod!

  • Edison invented the light bulb in 1878, imagine our world without lights?    
All “Edison Expo Exhibitors” are encouraged to conduct an experiment to display to the Wolftrap community. You can pick your own experiment, or explain one of Thomas Edison’s experiments and how it has impacted your modern life. Or, click through the list of websites in the "Get Started" packet for interesting ideas.  

  * Information regarding sign ups and labels for projects will be posted in February 2012

     1. Click Here to Get Started *
 
     2.  On Line Sign-up link will go live in February.*

     3.
Print out a label for your project board*  (We need the project label just to be sure that all students are accounted for on the project so that they get their ribbons.)

On the day of the event, Grades K-3 will be in the cafeteria, and Grades 4-6 will be in the gym. The students are to bring their project boards to school with them in the morning.  The project boards will remain at school until after the event, at which point you will take them home.

The students are NOT to bring their project models (i.e. plants, jars, volcanoes, balloons, etc) on the morning of the event.  They are to be brought in the evening and set on the project table along with the board that will already be set up for your child.  In the past there have been too many project models that have been lost or broken, so it will be the responsibility of the family to bring in the "model" at night.

The Edison Expo committee will be collecting the project boards in the afternoon from your child's classroom to set up at about 2:30pm.  Your child will have an opportunity to share his/her project before 2:30pm at which time they will be collected and placed in the cafeteria for set-up.
