Research Student Responsibilities The research student: � will participate in the regional science and engineering fair. � will follow all appropriate safety guidelines. � must notify the research teacher of any research plan changes prior to implementation of said changes. � will notify the research teacher of all mentors, qualified scientists and/or adult sponsors involved in their research. � will submit all forms and paperwork prior to the assigned deadlines. � will abide by all school rules at science activities. � will conduct research in an ethical manner. Ethics and Science Research Science research requires that students be highly principled in their investigations and exhibit a high degree of integrity. Students should accept research failures and evidence that is counter to their own hypotheses. Scientific research can be compromised by dishonesty, bias and cheating. The science research student is responsible for maintaining the highest ethical standards throughout their scientific pursuits. Scientific ethics require that Research Teachers and Students: � be dedicated to the pursuit and promotion of beneficial scientific investigation, consistent with the mission of the Brevard Public Schools. � discuss, manage, evaluate, and report scientific data honestly, thoroughly, and without conflict of interest. � not plagiarize, fabricate or falsify any part of the research. � not intentionally withhold or use incomplete, misleading or biased information. � return all borrowed equipment and resources in a timely manner. � encourage constructive criticism of the research project. � ensure safe and humane treatment of human and animal subject. � safeguard resources entrusted to them. “ Character is so much easier to keep than recover.” -Thomas Payne 4
Instructional Strategies Preliminary Science Research Activities Before science projects begin, the teacher should ensure that students understand certain essential concepts inherent in the science research process. Safety: All science teachers should review safety procedures and rules at the beginning of the course. The teacher should refer to the district's Safe Science (1998) document; a Student Safety Contract is included in this guidebook. The teacher should be aware of the teacher, student and administrative responsibilities (See Responsibility & Ethics Section). Examples of suggested activities: � Review safety rules � Design safety exercises � Locate safety equipment on a map of the research room Required Initial Paperwork: The following forms should be completed as soon as possible (refer to Forms section): � Parent Agreement Form ( Keep in Folder for school use) � Photo Release � Student Science Safety Contract � Responsibility and Ethics Forms � Internet Acceptable Use Policy Form (Keep in Folder for School Use) Basic Components of Science Research Program: The teacher should introduce and explain the basic components of the fair project.(Refer to Appendices B&C) � Research paper � Reprint file � Display board � Log/data book Observational Exercises: Students may need review and practice in making observations. Simple laboratory exercises should be used to develop these skills. (Refer to Appendix A) Examples of laboratory activities: � Observation of a Burning Candle � Cartesian Diver � Discrepant Events 5
