Extremely Important Rules to Follow:

 Pathogen Studies may NOT be conducted at home. Baker’s and Brewer’s yeast are not considered pathogens. Elementary students are NOT allowed to do bacteria projects!

 Students doing studies with vertebrates must have the supervision and signatures of appropriate scientists, veterinarians, etc. All projects must be approved by the SRC committee before research begins.

 The use of photographs of experiments is encouraged! Acknowledge the photographer on the presentation board. The use of students other than the student researcher in photographs is discouraged.

 The school’s IRB Committee must review any research involving humans BEFORE experimentation begins.

 Form 4-Human Consent Form must be completed for all projects using human subjects when more than minimal risk is determined by the school’s IRB Committee. This does include surveys and questionnaires.
