CCISD Science & Engineering Fair

For more than 60 years, the Clear Creek ISD Science and Engineering Fair has been an exciting tradition that inspires students to learn, master and compete in the independent research process. Independent research can be one of the most valuable opportunities for students in a science class. It provides each child the chance to select an area of science of interest to him/her, to ask a question about that area, and to experimentally determine the answer to that question, following scientifically appropriate techniques. From kindergarten to twelfth grade, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) require that students are able to successfully do this independent research. Communicating the results of the research is also required by the TEKS.

The school science and engineering fairs provide an excellent format for students to communicate the results of their research. The skills developed in doing independent research will serve the student his/her entire life.
