Teacher Checklist
If you are advising a student
who is participating in an Intel ISEF
affiliated science and engineering fair, you can use this checklist
as a guide.
START EARLY!
Students should begin planning their
fair projects at the beginning of the school year or even at the end
of a school year so they can work over the summer.
PARTICIPATE IN A SCHOOL FAIR
• Follow guidelines for your school, but if your students are
considering entry
into the regional Intel ISEF affiliated fair, you must
comply with International
Rules as well (Junior gr. 6-8 and Senior
Division gr. 9-12 participants ONLY).
• Work with your school fair coordinator to avoid conflicts between
dates for
your school fair and the regional fair.
PARTICIPATE IN THE ISEF-AFFILIATED
REGIONAL FAIR
1.
Prepare a student checklist and timeline with key dates.
2. Encourage students to select a topic for their research project and
direct
them to research sources.
3. Approve projects and direct
students to develop a research plan.
4. Review judging expectations with your students. Let them know how their
projects will be evaluated.
5. If possible, schedule time with your school's fair coordinator for students
to
work on their project boards after school. Recruit parent volunteers to help
with project completion at after school sessions. (Regional
Fair Display
Rules)
6. Hold a classroom fair to help students practice their project presentations
and
to polish and edit their project. (Regional
Fair Judging Criteria)
7. Compete at the regional fair and celebrate your students' accomplishments!
8. If a project is selected for the Intel ISEF, help your student(s) polish their
presentations before heading to the International Fair (Senior Division ONLY)
