SUMMARY:Alabama Homeschool Spelling Bee
DESCRIPTION:Homeschool Alabama has registered with Scripps organization so homeschoolers in Alabama from grades K-8 will have a way to participate in the national spelling bee. The winner of this state homeschool spelling bee will move on to the Alabama state spelling bee in Birmingham in March. A student must be registered through a school or organization that is enrolled with Scripps. \nThe Scripps organization made a few changes this year. The main one that affects us is that there is no longer an online testing option\, so there will be no preliminary bee this year. All students who register with Homeschool Alabama will participate in the in-person bee in Birmingham. \nPlease be aware that the target audience for the spelling bee is grades 4-8; there is no minimum grade for participation in the program. All participating students should be in grade 8 or below. \nPlease register your students by Jan 15th \nAfter you register you will receive an email with word lists to study so the earlier you register\, the better for your student. \nAre you a member of Homeschool Alabama?  Be sure to include your discount code!  Want to join Homeschool Alabama today?  Visit HomeschoolAL.org for more details\, and check with Essential for an Active School membership code. \nCOST:  $25/family for student registration – no cost to attend and observe!

SUMMARY:Science Fair 2025
DESCRIPTION:Share your knowledge and experiments! We are excited to offer the BHC Science Fair for the 2025-2026 school year for all ages and grade levels.

The $5 registration fee will help BHC cover the expenses of the venue\, judges\, and prizes – yes\, this event includes some friendly competition! \nREGISTER HERE\nScience Fair Information\nAll projects must be a controlled research experiment that follows the scientific method. This is not for models or for research complications. If the project is not an experiment\, your student will receive constructive comments but will not be eligible for judging.

The student should understand what they are doing and be able to discuss it with you. The student should pick a project that they are interested in and do the work themselves as much as possible.\nPlease do not harm any living things for your project.\nA student may enter just one project. Students may work together on a project\, but the project will be judged for the age group of the oldest child involved.\nProjects will be judged and prizes awarded for winners. All participants will receive a certificate for participating.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll presentations must be in English and the student must be prepared to answer age-specific questions about their project during the judging process. Make sure to write everything in your own words to avoid plagiarism.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou do not have to have your project judged if you do not want to. Just mark that on the registration form.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe presentation must be presented on a tri-fold\, stand alone cardboard display board that can be found at Wal-Mart and other local stores for around $3.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease follow the below example as closely as possible to simplify judging. If the child cannot write\, someone else can write for them or they can draw pictures to demonstrate what they did. Photographs are also good to use.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can bring materials to show the judge\, but they must fit easily in front of the poster\, they must not need to be plugged in or require other resources\, and they must not make a mess.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn fair day\, please be there at 1:00 to get set up set up and ready for judging. The judges will walk around to each project and discuss with the student.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that the measurements for the poster board are 48″ long and 36″ tall. The diagram below has a mistake- the middle section measures 24″\, not 36″.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Homeschool Alabama Capitol Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now closed at https://homeschoolalabama.org.  Space is limited for the day’s activities inside and around the Statehouse.  BUT – your family can still participate in the afternoon rally together with other homeschool families from around the state. \nStay tuned for information about attending the “rally” at the end of the day.  We will share these details as soon as it is confirmed by Homeschool Alabama. \nIn addition\, if you missed the registration for the tours with Homeschool Alabama\, there is so much to see and do in Montgomery!  We hope to post an activity guide for our families who still want to be a part of the day.
