Science Fair Projects

Water and water resources offer a rich opportunity for science fair projects...and Eastern has many resources for students and their teachers.

EMWD's assistance is available and free-of-charge, to teachers in the 11 school districts and private schools within Eastern's service area.

From ideas, books, and possible technical assistance, EMWD can help make your science projects a better opportunity for hands-on learning about water.

For those students interested in water-related science projects, EMWD provides a Science Fair Handbook for grades K-12. The handbook guides the student from the initial choosing of a water-related topic, to providing a general timeline for productivity, to portraying a finished science fair display.
