Projects for the school science fair may be entered by individual students or by teams of no more than three. Every project must include a display board and a lab notebook with a dated entry for each step of the investigation. Projects that involve live animals must be approved by the science department before any testing begins; projects that use plants, soil or water samples do not need approval. Entry forms are due in Room 21 two weeks before the fair. A late form will be accepted only if a teacher has signed it, and projects with late forms are placed on a waiting list and given a table only if one is still open.
