Science Festival Fun: A Teaching and Learning Experience

Science Scope—May 2000

Unlike a science fair that consists of static displays of science investigations completed by students, a science festival includes interactive science exhibits that students share with one another (Parker, 1996). As students manipulate interactive exhibit materials, their peers answer questions and discuss pertinent science concepts. This article is geared toward helping you develop your own science festival. Why not encourage your students to develop their own science festival the last few weeks before summer break? They may just have fun.
