The Science Showcase at the Toronto Science Fair was introduced at TSF 2022 as an opportunity for teachers of Kindergarten to Grade 6 students to organize a class science project or small group science project during the winter term and have students make a one-minute video to record what they investigated and what they discovered. The videos were posted on the Toronto Science Fair website during the Toronto Science Fair and throughout the month of April, 2026. This was a showcase of science at the Kindergarten/Primary/Junior level and not a competition. Each participating class/student was awarded a Certificate.
This year, the Science Showcase will include one-minute videos from students in Kindergarten to Grade 4. Teachers of Kindergarten to Grade 4 students are invited to organize a class science project or small group science project and have students make a one-minute video to record what they investigated and what they discovered. The videos will be posted on the TSF website during the month of April, 2026. Each class may submit a maximum of two videos per class, with a maximum of 10 videos per school. Interested teachers may register their classes starting on January 12th, 2026 and upload their videos by March 6, 2026.
The Science Showcase is open to Kindergarten, Primary and Junior Classes (K-4) in schools within Toronto. (School postal code starting with M.) Homeschooled students resident in Toronto are also eligible.
The entries can be the work of a whole class or of smaller groups within a class. Each class may submit a maximum of two videos. Each school may submit a maximum of 10 videos.
The video should be a record of what the class or group did to investigate a specific science question and what they concluded from their investigations. The video could begin with a statement of the question to be investigated, followed by a description of the experiments or activities conducted. Data gathered and conclusions drawn should be outlined.
Students are encouraged to be creative in their video design. There is no one right way to do this.
Due to privacy issues, teachers are encouraged to devise videos so that no picture of a student appears. If the image of any student does appear in a video, the registration form must be accompanied by a permission form or letter signed by the child’s parents.
Each video shall be a maximum one minute in length.
Registration for the Science Showcase will open January 12th, 2026. Teachers must register their classes by March 6, 2026.
They should upload the video to google drive and share the link with torontosciencefair@gmail.com between Monday, January 12th, 2026 to Friday, March 6, 2026.
