Science Research Survey Questions
Science Research Survey Questions
In order to know which forms are necessary, STEM Wizard guides students through a series of questions. This is a very important step. Depending on the answers, some projects will require special paperwork. Answering the survey questions correctly helps ensure the appropriate forms will be attached. If any necessary forms are missing, the project may be disqualified.

Junior High Safety Forms
Junior High Safety Forms
Texas Science and Engineering Fair has streamlined the safety form process for junior high students. The single form will cover all signatures for a student's project.
Students are not required to have every signature on the form. Signatures required depend on the project and safety requirements for each project.
Human Participant Projects:
School Administrator
Counselor (for non-physical projects)
School Nurse (for physical activity or ingesting projects)
Vertebrate Animal Projects:
Veterinarian MUST sign off on the project. These signatures are getting hard to acquire, so please take note of that from the beginning of the process.
Similar to the high school forms, all digital signatures must be certified and verified.
