Info for Teachers

The information on this page is to help teachers in charge of school fair organisation. Please contact us if you need information about any aspect of the fair. It is important that a representative from each school attends, whenever possible, the regular committee meetings. Representatives are also encouraged to become involved in one area of the fair organisation.

1. Register your school

Supply name, phone number and e-mail address of the teacher in charge. Attend meetings of committee whenever possible or send a representative. Register now…

2. Help students decide on projects

They may work on their own or with a partner. No more than two students can work on any project. See student notes for more info…

3. Ensure all students fill out forms

Filling in safety and certification forms will allow you to check that each student knows which category they are in and whether they need to apply for ethics approval. Help students fill out ethics forms as required. These forms should be filled out before the students start the project!  Go through the first 4 project pages of this website with students. Term One is usually about inspiration and nailing down their topic. Term Two is the heavy lifting of completing the project with a log book. The big thing here is getting them underway and doing some work on it every day. Term Three is your school’s science fair judging (Week 1-2) and getting the finalists ready for the Fair.

4. Select your school entries

Complete our online registration form for each of your students. Register student exhibits online…

5. Turn up on ‘set up day’ to help with putting up all projects

You may be asked to bring all your school projects in to the venue, checking that all forms and regulations are completed on each project. NOTE: It is essential that at least one teacher from each school is present on this day

6. Arrange for students to be present on Judging day

Year 7 & 8 and Year 9 & 10 students will be required to attend for the judging of their projects at session times to be notified. Students must attend this session, as they will be questioned on their projects. There may also be time when they are waiting so they should bring a book or other activity to keep them occupied for this time. If you want to be involved with the judging then another teacher or adult must accompany large groups of students.

7. Attend Prize-giving

The school will be notified on Tuesday morning, the day after judging if any of your students are receiving prizes.

8. Make sure all students know when to collect their projects

Projects of major prize winners may be transported to another venue on Thursday for future display. Any projects left behind will eventually be disposed of, so you may wish to check the venue on Saturday evening to rescue any projects that your students have forgotten to collect.

If it wasn’t for teachers in the classroom the Science Fair wouldn’t be possible. Thank you so much for your support throughout the year, motivating, encouraging, and moving the students about. See you at the Fair!
