Science Fair 2004


Fontana Unified School District's 2004 Science Fair was held on Saturday, February 28th, at  A.B. Miller High School.

Participation in the science fair is an opportunity for students to participate in a scientific investigation. Each student's project explores a science topic that interests them. Students identify a problem or a question, conduct research, and carry out an experiment to learn more. Building a display and presenting results of their experiment is an important and fun way of sharing their creative abilities and the results of their investigation.

Science Fair Projects of Medal Winners will represent Fontana Unified at the County Inland Science & Engineering Fair on April 20-21 at the Orange Show.
