Judging Criteria and General Information

Thank you again for devoting your time and energy to our students of Denton ISD. Following are some things to consider as you begin the judging process.

Projects should be evaluated for following the scientific process and should represent a testable question. Models, demonstrations, collections, or non-testable research should not be considered for awards.

Judge projects first by the scientific standard and then by comparison to their peers.

Do not lower an evaluation of a project because it is hand-written. Likewise, a powerful display board should not overshadow the real substance of an investigation. “Marketing” of the child’s work is only a small portion of the overall project.

In the final stages of the judging process, such criteria as evidence of multiple trials, a hand-written data log book, journal quantitative or qualitative data represented in graphs, charts, tables or other visuals, or a summary report should be used to differentiate the finalist.

At the campus, each grade level will award 1st, 2nd and 3rd

place awards. Only the top 2 awards in each grade will attend the District Science Fair. Third place winners from the campus will attend District Fair only in the event that an alternate is needed.

Each judging team, under the direction of the lead judge, will decide how to organize their efforts. Some teams will prefer to individually complete a preliminary evaluation of each assigned project and then get together to confer. Other teams will go through the judging process all together. There is no right or wrong way for this process to unfold.

A positive note with comments and/or suggestions should be completed by each judging team and left with the project. Please include specific comments as to suggestions for improvement on those projects that will be going on to compete at the District Science Fair.

DISTRICT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCE FAIR Rules and Regulations

General Information: (1) The purpose of the Fair is to recognize and commend youthful scientific talent and interest in

scientific investigation. (2) Awards will be given as follows: (a) 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies for EACH grade level, K-5,

(b) “Best of Fair” and “Best of Fair/Runner-Up” trophies for K-1, 2-3, and 4-5, and (c) special awards as made available through sponsorships by campus PTAs, local businesses, universities, and organizations. ALL entrants will receive a Science Fair ribbon and a special certificate for outstanding achievement.

(3) Models or collections are not acceptable. Students in grades K-5 should follow the scientific method, develop a testable question, and perform an experiment.

(4) All students are required to have an exhibit which meets the exhibit specifications outlined below as well as some type of written report to support the information presented in their display. Students in K-1 may dictate their written report to an adult.

(5) Teachers are encouraged to emphasize the significant role that mathematics plays as a key tool in both performing and measuring any scientific experiment.

(6) The participation of students in the Fair is meant to be a very positive experience. Please encourage all students and teachers to follow the guidelines, exactly, in order to avoid any problems. In order to be fair to all participants, projects that do not conform to the rules and specifications outlined below will be disqualified.

Entry Rules: (1) Students in grades K-5 who receive a first or second place award at their local school

science fair are eligible to participate. If a campus winner is unable to attend the district fair, another student who received a third place or other campus award such as honorable mention may attend in their place.

(2) Each school will be allowed to enter only the first and second place winners from EACH grade level for a maximum of 12 entries. If there is a tie for one of these places, each school must decide how to break the tie. Only 12 entries (2 per grade level) from each school will be allowed. No Exceptions.

(3) An entry form must be completed for each participant. This form must be received by the fair director on or before March 4, 2011. No entry forms will be accepted after this date.

Exhibit Specifications: (1) All projects are to be the work of only one person. Group projects are not eligible. (2) All exhibits must be constructed by the students. Parents, teachers, or any technically trained

professionals may give advice and guidance only. (3) All projects should include a display which is self-supporting. The size of the display may not

exceed 30 inches deep by 48 inches wide by 60 inches high. (4) All equipment and other necessary materials must be furnished by the exhibitor. If electricity is

needed, it should be indicated on the entry form. 117 volt outlets will be available, but the exhibitor is required to furnish an extension cord of at least 15 feet in length.

(5) No student's name or school may be displayed on the exhibit. Failure to follow this important specification could result in being disqualified by the judges.

(6) Students are encouraged to use explanatory labels on their exhibits to demonstrate the use of the scientific method as well graphs, charts, and tables to explain the data collected during their experiment.

Safety Precautions: (1) No hazardous or dangerous chemical substances, such as caustics, acids, highly combustible

solids, fluids, or gases in pressurized tanks may be displayed. (2) No live disease-causing organisms that are pathogenic to man or other live vertebrates may be

displayed. No live specimens of any kind may be displayed. (3) No microbial cultures and fungi, living or dead including unknown specimens may displayed. (4) No syringes, pipettes, and similar devices may be on display. (5) Any electrical apparatus must be constructed according to standard electrical laws. (6) No food, either human or animal may be displayed unless contained in a SEALED container

and properly labeled. Please check with the Fair Director, prior to the day of the fair, if you have questions about whether any part of an exhibit meets the safety rules listed above. The Fair Director reserves the right of refusal of any exhibit considered to be unsafe. Humane Considerations: The legitimate use of animals in the classroom, in the laboratory, or in science research projects presupposes two postulates. First, the use of animals for learning, as it is for testing and research, is morally acceptable; and second, that man has a responsibility to grant the animals used in research every humane consideration for their comfort and well-being. The moral responsibility that we all have toward animals means we cannot give free rein to students in research involving animals. Consequently, those of us who would nurture a healthy curiosity in youngsters are placed in a delicate position. To “turn off” a prospective biologist or physician by excessive limitations would be a serious mistake. We know through science fair work thousands of today's physicians, dentists, veterinarians, scientists, engineers, and science teachers were given an important impetus toward their careers. The proper care and use of animals is a primary consideration in school research projects. If the students can acquire this concern, through becoming familiar with animals and their needs, it will be beneficial to both the scientific and personal development and education of the student. With these considerations in mind, the following guidelines for animal use have been developed for the Denton I.S.D. Science Fair:

(1) The use of protista and other invertebrates is to be encouraged for most research involving animals. Their wide variety and the feasibility of using larger numbers than is usually possible with vertebrates makes them especially suitable.

(2) The use of vertebrates is allowed only with special permission

(3) If a project involving vertebrates has been approved, the following rules must be followed: (a) All animals must be lawfully acquired in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws, (b) Animals may NOT be housed at home, but must be under the care and direct supervision of a qualified adult, and (c) special documentation will be required to insure the proper care, treatment, and use of the animals.

from the supervising teacher and the District Fair Director.

Miscellaneous: (1) If any person under the age of 18 is asked to participate in a student’s science fair project,

even if just to complete a questionnaire, that person must have their parent or guardian sign a permission slip allowing them to participate. All permission slips must be included with the student’s display board to verify the compliance with this procedure.

(2) If there is any question regarding any of the rules stated above, or if any student is not certain that he or she is following these rules correctly, please contact the district Science Fair Director, Sharon Betty at 369-0664 or sbetty@dentonisd.org for clarification. Failure to follow all rules and regulations may result in being disqualified to participate in the Fair.

3 NO se aceptan modelos ni colecciones. Los alumnos de Kinder a 5° deben seguir los pasos del método científico, elaborar una pregunta que se pueda comprobar y realizar un experimento.

lugar para CADA grado, de Kinder a 5°, (b) trofeos para el “Mejor de la feria”, y el segundo mejor, para Kinder y 1°, 2° y 3°, y 4° y 5°; y (c) reconocimientos especiales según el patrocinio del PTA de las escuelas, comercios locales, universidades, y organizaciones. TODOS los participantes van a recibir un certificado por sus logros sobresalientes.

4 Todos los alumnos tienen que tener una exhibición que cumpla las condiciones específicas detalladas en ésta, junto con algún tipo de trabajo escrito para corroborar los datos presentados en su exhibición. Los alumnos de Kinder y 1° pueden dictarle a un adulto su reporte escrito. 5 Recomendamos que los maestros subrayen la importancia del papel de la matemática, tanto en la realización, como en la medición de cualquier experimento científico. 6 La participación de los alumnos debe ser una experiencia muy positiva. Por favor recomienden a todos los alumnos y maestros que sigan las reglas, al pie de la letra, para evitarse problemas. Con el ánimo de ser imparciales con todos los participantes, se van a rechazar los proyectos que no se conformen a las reglas y pautas detalladas aquí. Reglas de participación:

1 Los alumnos de Kinder a 5° que obtengan un trofeo de 1o

, 2o

ó 3er

2 Cada escuela podrá inscribir únicamente los ganadores de CADA grado, o sea un máximo de 18 participantes. Si hay un empate para una de estas categorías, cada escuela tiene que decidir cómo desempatar. Sólo se admitirán 18 inscripciones (3 por grado) de cada escuela. No habrá excepciones.

lugar en la feria de ciencias naturales de sus escuelas locales, tendrán derecho a participar. En caso de que el ganador de la feria de su escuela no pueda asistir a la feria del distrito, podrá participar en su lugar otro alumno que haya recibido un reconocimiento en su escuela, como por ejemplo, mención honorífica.

3 Cada participante tiene que completar una hoja de inscripción. La directora de la feria tiene que recibir las dos copias de ésta para el 4 de marzo del 2011. Pasada esa fecha, no se aceptarán inscripciones. Especificaciones para las exhibiciones:

1 Todos los proyectos tienen que ser obra de una sola persona. No se permiten los proyectos en grupo. 2 Todos los proyectos tienen que ser hechos por los alumnos. Los padres, maestros, o profesionales en tecnología sólo pueden dar consejos y sugerencias. 3 Todos los proyectos deben incluir una mampara de exhibición que se detenga sola. Las dimensiones de la mampara de exhibición no pueden pasar de 30 pulgadas de profundidad, 48 pulgadas de ancho, y 60 pulgadas de alto. 4 El exhibidor tiene que poner todo el equipo y otro material necesario para su exhibición. Si hace falta electricidad, tiene que especificarse en la hoja de inscripción. Va a haber enchufes de 117 voltios, pero el exhibidor tiene que traer un cable con un mínimo de 15 pies de largo. 5 No se permite poner en la exhibición ni el nombre del alumno ni de la escuela. Quien no cumpla con este detalle importante podría ser excluido por los jueces. 6 Recomendamos mucho que los alumnos usen etiquetas para explicar sus exhibiciones, demostrando, así, el uso del método científico, al igual que tablas, diagramas, y gráficas para explicar los datos obtenidos con su experimento. Precauciones:

1 No se permite exhibir sustancias químicas, nocivas, o peligrosas, como son sustancias cáusticas, ácidos, o sólidos, líquidos, o gases en tanques a presión muy combustibles.

2 No se permite exhibir organismos vivos comunicadores de enfermedades patogénicos al hombre u otros vertebrados vivos. No se permite exhibir especimenes vivos de ninguna clase. 3 No se permite exhibir cultivos de microbios u hongos, vivos o muertos, que incluye especimenes desconocidos. 4 No se permite exhibir jeringas, pipetas, ni otros objetos parecidos. 5 Todo aparato eléctrico se tiene que construir de acuerdo con las normas de la electricidad. 6 No se permite exhibir alimentos, ni para consumo humano, ni para animales, a menos que se exhiba dentro de un recipiente SELLADO y debidamente etiquetado. En caso de tener alguna duda de si la exhibición cumple o no con las normas antes mencionadas, favor de consultar con la directora de la feria, antes del día de inicio de la misma. La directora de la feria se reserva el derecho de rechazar cualquier exhibición que juzgue peligrosa.

Consideraciones Humanitarias: El uso legítimo de animales en el salón, el laboratorio, o en proyectos de investigaciones científicas presupone dos principios fundamentales: Primero.- el uso de animales para aprendizaje, así como para pruebas e investigaciones es moralmente aceptable; y segundo.- el humano es el responsable de la comodidad y el bienestar de los animales. La responsabilidad moral que tenemos con los animales quiere decir que no podemos darles rienda libre a los alumnos en cuestiones de investigaciones que incluyen animales. Como consecuencia, quienes deseemos inculcar en los jóvenes una sana curiosidad, nos encontramos en una situación delicada. Sería un gravísimo error “sofocar” a un futuro biólogo o médico con excesivas limitaciones. Bien sabemos que miles de médicos, dentistas, veterinarios, científicos, ingenieros y maestros de ciencias naturales obtuvieron con las ferias de ciencias naturales un importante impulso para sus vocaciones. El cuidado y uso correcto de los animales es la más importante consideración en proyectos de investigaciones escolares. Si los alumnos pueden adoptar esta actitud atenta e interesada, conociendo a las animales y concientes de sus necesidades, será de beneficio para el desarrollo tanto científico como personal y la instrucción del mismo alumno. Teniendo esto en cuenta, hemos elaborado las siguientes pautas para la feria de ciencias naturales del Distrito Escolar de Denton:

1 Recomendamos el uso de protista y otros invertebrados para las investigaciones que incluyan animales. Su variedad y la practicidad de usarlos en mayores cantidades que los vertebrados, hace que sean particularmente adecuados. 2 El uso de vertebrados se permite sólo con permiso especial

3 En caso de haberse aprobado un proyecto que incluya vertebrados, se tienen que seguir estas pautas: (a) todos los animales se tienen que haber adquirido de acuerdo a las leyes locales, federales, y del estado, (b) los animales NO pueden ser alojados en casa, sino que tienen que estar bajo el cuidado y la supervisión directa de un adulto capacitado, y (c) hace falta documentación especial para garantizar la atención y el trato adecuado, y el buen uso de los animales.

del maestro supervisor y la directora de la feria del distrito.

Observaciones:

1 En caso de que el alumno solicite la participación de cualquier persona menor de 18 años en el proyecto de feria de ciencias naturales, aunque sea para completar un cuestionario, dicho menor tiene que contar con el permiso de sus padres o tutores para participar. Todos los permisos tienen que incluirse con la exhibición del alumno para garantizar que se esté respetando este procedimiento. 2 Si tiene cualquier pregunta en lo que se refiere a alguna de las reglas antes mencionadas, o si el alumno no siente la confianza de estar observando los reglamentos, favor de comunicarse con la directora de la feria de ciencias naturales, Sharon Betty al (940) 369-0664, o sbetty@dentonisd.org

. Quien incumpla alguna de estas reglas y pautas está en riesgo de ser excluido de la feria.
