The Big Wal­nut Local School Dis­trict Sci­ence Fair, an event that involves stu­dents from fifth grade through high school, is tonight (Thurs­day, Feb­ru­ary 14) at Big Wal­nut High School.

Big Wal­nut High School sci­ence teacher Matt Wallschlaeger said Big Wal­nut is one of few school dis­tricts in the state that has had a con­tin­u­ous sci­ence fair for the past 50-plus years; and this year’s sci­ence fair will host 112 projects, with a strong fifth grade par­tic­i­pa­tion by inter­me­di­ate school students.

All stu­dents who receive a Supe­rior rat­ing dur­ing the Big Wal­nut Sci­ence Fair qual­ify to advance to Cen­tral Dis­trict Sci­ence Day held at Colum­bus State on March 16; and stu­dents who receive a Supe­rior at Cen­tral Dis­trict Sci­ence Day will be invited to advance to State Sci­ence Day held on May 11 at The Ohio State University.

The Big Wal­nut Sci­ence Fair will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Big Wal­nut High School cafe­te­ria and atrium. Stu­dents will set up projects from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. Par­ents and the gen­eral pub­lic are wel­come to attend the sci­ence fair, but come early; pub­lic view­ing is from 6 to 7 p.m., the doors close dur­ing judging.
