Science Fair Rules

 

Aw!, you mean there are rules? Of course there are, silly, this is made by adults!

 

• Number one rule. . . think safety first before you start. Make sure you have recruited your adults to help you.

 

• Never eat or drink during an experiment and always keep your work area clean.

 

• Wear protective goggles when doing any experiment that could lead to eye injury.

 

• Do not touch, taste, or inhale chemicals or chemical solutions.

 

• Respect all life forms. Animals are not allowed to be used in experiments. Do not perform an experiment that will harm a person.

 

• All experiments should be supervised by an adult.

 

• Always wash your hands after doing the experiment, especially if you have been handling chemicals.

 

• Dispose waste properly.

 

• Any project that involves animals, drugs, firearms, open flames, non-household chemicals or explosives are NOT permitted.

 

• Any project that breaks district policy, and/or local, state, or federal laws are NOT permitted.

 

• Use safety on the Internet! NEVER write to anyone without an adult knowing about it. Be sure to let an adult know about what websites you will be visiting, or have them help you search.

 

• If there are dangerous aspects of your experiment, like using a sharp tool or experimenting with electricity, please have an adult help you or have them do the dangerous parts. That’s what adults are for so use them correctly. (Besides, it makes them feel important!)
