How do I go about finding mentors for my students? Contact local institutions of higher learning, industry and professional organizations. Can students work with mice? The mice (vertebrates) should be obtained from licensed laboratory animal breeders and housed in clean, ventilated, comfortable environments. Experiments involving mice (small common laboratory animals) shall be performed in an institutional setting or school setting. See section on “Vertebrate Animals” in International Science Fair Rules and Guidelines. (www.societyforscience.org) Where can my students get their display board? Display boards can be purchased locally or ordered from companies such as Showboard. A variety of appropriate materials (plywood, cork board, foam, board, or Plexiglas ) can be used to construct display boards. Boards can also be handed down from former research students. Boards should be completed prior to Winter Vacation. Make sure the board complies to all board dimensions as outlined in “Intel ISEF Display and Safety Regulations” in International Science Fair Rules. Additional restrictions may apply to specific science competitions. Can students use their pets in their research? Non-invasive and behavioral studies involving pets and livestock may be done. See section on “Vertebrate Animals” in International Science Fair Rules and Guidelines. (www.societyforscience.org) What is an MSDS sheet? The Material Safety Data Sheet describes the pertinent attributes of a substance including chemical synonyms, chemical and physical characteristics, potential hazards and disposal techniques. Material Safety Data Sheets should be included with protocol for any hazardous chemical. Internet sites for MSDS searches and explanation of MSDS can be found in Safe Science (Brevard County School, 1998). When can a student begin experimentation of a project? Each student may enter one project which covers research done over a maximum of 12 continuous months between January 2008 and May 2009. Traditionally students begin experimentation after June 1 st and after acquiring SRC approval (if needed). 24
What kind of experiments should not be done at home? Experiments involving microbiological agents, DNA or common laboratory animals should not be done at home. Project experimentation is encouraged at institutional or school settings. What kind of pictures can be displayed on the display board? Many projects involve components that may not be safely exhibited at the fair, but are an important part of the project. A photograph of important parts/phases of your experiment should be used in your display. Regional and State guidelines may restrict the use of certain photographs on the display. See sections on “Display and Safety Regulations” in International Science Fair Rules and “Visual Display” in Student Handbook for Pre-college Science & Engineering Projects.(www.societyforscience.org) What special requirements are needed when working with “Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents”? Projects incorporating microorganisms, recombinant DNA (rDNA) technologies or human or animal fresh tissues, blood, or body fluids may involve working with potentially hazardous biological agents. Students are permitted to do research projects with PHBAs and they must acquire SRC approval before experimentation. When using PHBAs student researchers, designated supervisors and qualified scientists are required to follow standard microbiological practices as defined the International Science & Engineering Fair Guidelines and local SRC. Care, handling and disposal techniques of PHBAs must be included in the Research Plan. Research with BSL-1 may be performed under the supervision of an experienced Qualified Scientist or Designated Supervisor. Research with BSL-2 may only be performed only under the direct supervision of a Qualified Scientist in the area of study. Studies involving PHBAs are prohibited in a home environment, but specimens may be collected at home. See section on “Potentially Hazardous Biological Agents” in International Science Fair Rules.(www.societyforscience.org) What paperwork is needed when working with human subjects? An Institutional Review Board (IRB) and local SRC must review and approve all research involving human subjects before experimentation begins. Human Subjects Form (4) is required, additional forms 1C, 2, and 3 may be required. See section on “Human Subjects” in International Science Fair Rules.(www.societyforscience.org) What items will judges look for at fair competition? Judges evaluate and focus on 1) what the student did in the current year 2) overall knowledge of subject matter 25
