How To Participate in the Beal Bank Dallas Regional Science
& Engineering Fair
Step 1 Find A Topic
June—Dec. 2006: Encourage students to identify a
topic, start their research, and formulate a hypothesis. All public and private school students,
grades 7-12, from Collin,
Step 2 Complete ISEF Forms
June—Dec. 2006: Before they begin the experiments, assist students in using the ISEF Forms Wizard (linked from DallasScienceFair.org) to fill out the required forms. This is an important step as it ensures that your students are following the necessary safety procedures.
Step 3 SRC Forms Approvals
As soon as possible, forward a copy of any forms that require Scientific Review Committee (SRC) approval to your district SRC representative. (See reverse side for details, or go to DallasScienceFair.org) If you are unsure, it is best to fill out a form. Only send copies; the students should always retain the original paperwork.
Step 4 Schedule Local Fair
Fall 2006 to Feb. 21, 2007: Schedule your local school Science & Engineering Fair so the students can be chosen before the DRSEF registration deadline of Feb. 21, 2007. Each school will select students to represent the school at the DRSEF. A school may send a maximum of 2% of its enrollment in a given division (Junior 7-8, Senior 9-12). A student must have participated in a local/school Fair to be eligible for the DRSEF.
Step 5 Register On-Line
Deadline: Feb. 21, 2007: Go online to DallasScienceFair.org and register your students; this step allows us to match the teacher's list against the student list to ensure only the eligible projects are allowed to participate. Be sure to print a copy of your confirmation page; this serves as proof that you registered before the deadline.
Step 6 Pay Registration Fees
