Science Week 2025
February 11 - 14
Are you a tam TIger scientist?
Science and Engineering WEEK is a non-competitive, fun opportunity for Tam Valley Elementary students to exhibit their love of science and/or engineering. Research shows that elementary aged children will develop a view of science that becomes entrenched in them. Let’s help our Tigers to foster a love of scientific learning that aligns with the questions they have about the world around them!
Science Week Dates: February 11th - 14th, 2025
Science Fair Nights: Tuesday, February 11th and Wednesday, February 12th from 6-7:30 pm
Office Hours: (for students to come to the MPR after lunch to brainstorm with us their ideas for a science project): Thursday, January 23rd
Science Fair Sign-Up Deadline: For students planning to present a science project, parents must complete the Science Fair Project Sign-Up Google Form by Sunday, February 2nd
This year, there are TWO ways for Tam Tigers to enjoy science week:
Prepare and share a project at Science Night: As always, Tigers from ANY grade are welcome to sign up to prepare a science project for our Science Fair (scroll down to learn more and sign up).
Check out a daily science activity: This year we will have science and engineering elective activities during the school day throughout science week. Each day, there will be a science and engineering theme with a science activity at school that Tam Tigers can elect to check out during recess.
Parents can get involved, too:
Volunteers Needed: Are you interested in life sciences, math, engineering, or technology? You can help students see how science and engineering plays out in the daily world.
We’ll also have hands-on projects that won’t require technical knowledge, just enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more information on science and engineering themes, and parent sign-ups to help out!

Students who sign up to participate in the “Science Fair” portion of Science Week will prepare a science project using the scientific method to guide them. The Science Fair Nights will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, February 11th and 12th, from 6-7:30 PM in the Tam Valley School Multipurpose Room (MPR). (Student project presentations will be assigned to either Tuesday or Wednesday evening after sign-ups.) There will be time each night for students to present their own projects AND walk around to see what other Tigers did. Please see more info and guidelines here to learn more.
