Nelson Elementary

History Day is an exciting adventure, allowing students to research topics that are of a particular interest to them. It does take work outside of our scheduled meetings, but not only is knowledge gained, but also students are given the opportunity to present the work they have created, teaching valuable public speaking skills.

Please see Mr. Spencer (room 4) if you have questions about participating in History Day.

Robotics is a parent-facilitated co-curricular event. Any students who are interested in Robotics can create a team as long as parents are willing to facilitate the practices and competitions. Each team can have up to 8 students. A faculty member at Nelson provides the information and direction to parent-coaches.  

Robotics teams usually meet beginning at the start of the school year with a culminating tournament in early December. Robotics is fun, exciting, and an excellent way to build problem solving, teamwork, and science/math skills.

If you are interested in being a Robotics coach, please contact Dickie McBrien.

Students participating in Science Fair must choose a testable question, develop a hypothesis and experiments to test that hypothesis, perform the experiments, collect data, and deduce whether the data supports their hypothesis or not. All areas of science are open, as long as the student's question is testable. Students who perform well at the school level are eligible for competition at the CCRSEMF each spring. Science Fair is encouraged for all 4th-6th grade students at Nelson as an enrichment to their academic program!
