Information for students going to NEFRSEF

If you are one of the 10 lucky individuals who have been chosen to attend the Regional Science Fair you must register your project.
Please go to
http://www.nefrsef.org/ and click on Enter Your Project. Just follow the directions.

FORMS -FORMS - FORMS

Each participant MUST have the correct forms or you may Fail to Qualify (FTQ) when the Science Review Committee views your paperwork.

You must have
  1. FORM 1 - dated BEFORE experimentation and signed in BLUE ink.
  2. Form 1A - Check your dates. You must have dates that correlate to Form 1 and 1B
  3. Form 1B - dated BEFORE experimentation and signed in BLUE ink.
  4. A RESEARCH PLAN that is COMPLETE. Parts A, B, C, and D. It must have a bibliography of 5 major sources (NO wikipedia sources for the top 5). One of the references must be the official rules (see info below).You must assess safety for your project and discuss it in your plan and fill out a Form 3.
  5. Form 3 - Required for all projects.
  6. Official Abstract (Florida not international) which must also be signed in BLUE.

There is a time CRUNCH for all of this. I must have it no later than 8:00 AM on Wednesday, January 21. Yes, this upcoming Wednesday. I have to hand deliver the actual paperwork to the SRC by a certain time or they won't accept it. No ifs, ands, or buts.... so get it in.

This is the info you will need for the reference to the rules.

If you have questions or need help then please talk to me tomorrow. I plan on staying after until about 3:45 so if you need to stay make arrangements to be late to practice or arrange for a parent to pick you up.
