Glossary
Adult Sponsor: An adult sponsor/teacher is an adult who will: 1. Log in regularly to monitor his/her student’s Scienteer account progress 2. Review the project and sign the Form 1 when the student reaches that step. An Adult Sponsor is not the same thing as Designated Supervisor. Adult Sponsors help the students organize their paperwork and manage their account. An adult sponsor does not have to be directly involved in the physical research itself, but acts as a guide, point of contact and a general project manager.
Qualified Scientist - The qualified scientist is a person with an advanced degree in the area of the student researcher's project. This person must be familiar with the rules and regulations regarding that area of study.
Designated Supervisor - The designated supervisor is a person who directly oversees the student's experimentation.
Why the Science Fair?
Science Fair plays an important role in the lives and careers of many young students. Through this process, they learn critical thinking skills that will enable them to thrive in any career field. The science fair is more than creating a science project.
It is a complete educational process through which students learn:
• To follow directions and complete the scientific process
• How to gain knowledge outside a classroom setting
• To work with mentors and peers
• To hone their presentation skills
• About competing honestly and fairly
Rules and Regulations: https://student.societyforscience.org/international-rules-pre-college-science-research?pid=312
* EPISD Code of Conduct, federal, state and local laws must be observed or the project will be subject to disqualification
