Thanks Rebecca.  Please let me know if you need any additional information.

I learned that there are forms , approvals, and explanations to complete when working with animals(vertebrates). Its all for the safety and respect of the animals. Do no harm.

Teams must compete against individuals. Also, there are two new categories- civil engineering and and Robotics.That's what has changed.

I learned that scienteer forms must be completed and that students must be responsible for citing all sources used accordingly. Teams compete with individual projects.

I feel this is something that I could inform the students of in the beginning of the year, because I cannot assume they know what plagiarism is and the different kinds. I learned that there are two new categories this year, the civil engineering and robotics, and that there is no longer a team category. I am excited to finally know all this information because at my school only GT really does science fair but it is something I have always wanted to open up to my students. However, due to how busy the BOY gets, I am glad I was able to get this information over the summer so I can plan for it from the beginning.

While I was completely aware of students participating in the competitive science fair arena, I had no idea how extensive the process truly was. With the ISEF and Scienteer protocol, one must be well aware of how to help your students not only begin, but also how to comply and progress to the next level. I think it was a great idea to expose this training long before it is implemented during the school year. I hope these resources will also remain available when they are necessary for instructional employment with my students. Thank you!!]]> 2018-06-28 04:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ltunyab/woinu0cqywr1/wish/268816735 https://padlet.com/ltunyab/woinu0cqywr1/wish/270083795 The ethics rules gave me clear and precise instructions on how to make sure my students are following ethical guidelines when submitting their projects. This will be my first time encouraging my students to participate in the science fair, so I appreciate the information provided.

However, I am nervously excited after seeing what students have accomplished at NSTA conferences and listening to the questions of my past 5th and 6th graders. It will be fun to watch them come up with solutions to their questions by their own thoughts, knowledge, and experimentation. My largest concern is the paperwork, guidelines, deadlines, and rules.

I believe this training is necessary for MS and HS teachers to inform them of everything required for a science fair projects, remind them of what is needed for successful submission of projects, what and who is needed during the process, and a basic timeline. Scienteer is fairly user friendly and contains everything you need to take you from the campus science fair, to district, and then to state. 
 
This course gives the resources needed to support and review teachers from the beginning to the end of the process for project submissions.
