Northern Illinois Home Educator's Regional Science Fair

Good Morning,

I would like to introduce an opportunity available to all homeschooling children in northern Illinois . The Nothern Illinois Home Educator's Regional Science Fair is scheduled for March 27th, 2010 at the Radisson in Rockford, IL. . Dr. Jay Wile will be sharing on Friday March 26th a seminar entitled "Teaching" the Junior High and High School Sciences at Home. Dr. Wile will also be one of our guest judges Saturday morning.

We will be hosting a workshop in January that will give the kids an opportunity to learn how to choose, research and present their exhibit. Additionally, we will touch on topics such as: the scientific method, what is a hypothesis and how to form one, and creating a research paper. The the dates and destinations of these classes are yet to be decided. We have a number of locations available for our use in Freeport and Rockford. Until we have a clear idea of the number of participants and general location we can't make a definite decision. We will have those details by the end of the month.

Please feel free to share the information with your homeschool groups. We are going to have an informational meeting on November 21st for anyone interested in joining the planning team for the science fair. Please contact me with any questions regarding the informational meeting or the science fair. I would be happy to send you an attachment with the flyer for your group.

Thanks so much.

God Bless,

Dawn Boyer
