So What IS Allowed at the School Science Fair?

When you review the rules for the regional science fair, you will find them rather, uh, restrictive. Not to worry, most of the restrictions can be handled by including models or photos in your display rather than the real thing.

How about the School Science Fair? Two basic guidelines:

1. Common Sense
2. Ask your child's teacher

So if you want to do an experiment growing bean sprouts, and you are worried because the regional science fair will not allow animal or plant matter, ask your teacher, and if your child is selected as a representative for regional, use pictures instead of the real exhibit.

The one rule that cannot be avoided is no experiments that make animals unhappy.
