enter the SCSEF. Students attending high school (gr. 9-12) in Saginaw

their work. A student must design and carry out the project. Teachers,
parents or sponsors must limit help to advice and supervision. The SCSEF
does not allow group or team projects. Each student must have an adult sponsor
(teacher/parent/mentor) who is ultimately responsible for the health and
safety of the student conducting the experiment and of any human or animal
subjects. Students are responsible for all aspects of their
project including enlisting any needed supervisory adults, obtaining
necessary approvals, following the rules of the SCSEF and the ISEF, and
doing the experimentation, engineering, data analysis, etc. involved in the
project. Projects must adhere to all Federal, State and local laws and
regulations. Complete rules are on pages 9-12 of the 2010SCSEF

human subjects, nonhuman vertebrate animals, pathogenic agents, controlled
substances, recombinant DNA, or human and/or animal tissue until the SRC
approves. Students must submit the appropriate ISEF forms before beginning
experimentation. Any proposed research changes made after SRC approval must
be re-approved before the experimentation begins/resumes. Complete rules for Senior Division students are in the
ISEF Rules. The rules in the SCSEF30 Student Handbook, are summaries. Refer
