rules (FORMS) wizard

Please use the Rules Wizard located at the link above to determine whether or not special forms are required for your project.

The Rules Wizard has been designed as a first step to help you determine what forms and approvals are necessary before beginning a science fair project. Answer each of the 9 questions and a result page will provide a list of forms and information based on your answers; these forms and the accompanying rules should be reviewed closely with a teacher or mentor BEFORE experimentation begins.

This wizard is intended to be a helping tool, but cannot account for all specifics and situations of your individual project. Please be sure to review the International Rules.

You can move through the wizard screens by using the "Previous" and/or "Next" buttons or you can restart the wizard by using the "Clear & Restart" button at the top or bottom of each page.
