REGISTRATION

Every student in Grades 5 - 12 who qualifies to enter the Regional Science Fair must complete the Prince William – Manassas Science Fair Participant Entry Form and Project Summary / Abstract forms. These forms will be online; hard copies of these forms in Appendix A are samples only. It is the responsibility of the student to complete the entry form online and submit it electronically to the Science Office. The teacher and science fair coordinator will oversee this process. The entrant will need the teacher to log into the system in order to register the student.

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Since participants are required to pre-register online, no walk-in applicants will be admitted.

Teachers and/or coordinators should assist the students in completing the online entry form and abstract. It may be prudent to download hardcopies of these forms so the student can “practice” before submitting the information online.
Coordinators will be provided with a school access code. It is up to each school to determine who will have the access code, but the access code should never be shared with students. Once information is submitted electronically, it cannot be changed.
An e-mail confirmation will be sent back to the science fair coordinator for each online entry. No parent or teacher signature is required on the entry form.
Protocol sheets must be submitted in hard copy.

Sample Registration Forms & Protocol Sheets

Protocol Sheet(s)

Grades 5 - 8:
Students using human subjects MUST complete the Student Protocol/Research Plan for Use of Humans form (page 64) and submit to the Science Office in hard copy form.

Students using vertebrates in research MUST complete the Student Protocol/Research Plan for Vertebrates form (page 66) and submit it to the Science Office in hard copy form.

Grades 9 - 12:
The protocol forms for research projects in these grades are specified by Science Service and are located in the ISEF publication 2006-07 International Rules for Pre-college Research: Guidelines for Science and Engineering. A link is to the forms can also be found on the science webpage.

NOTE: These forms must be completed PRIOR to experimentation! Back-dating forms is unethical and unacceptable.
