W.I.S.E. will submit the student registration form and fee for each project selected for entry into the Monroe County Science Fair. However, before leaving W.I.S.E. 2003, both the student and a parent or guardian must sign the student registration form and obtain a mentorship form to attach to the front of the display board at the Monroe County Science Fair.

The student's family is responsible for setting up the project on Friday, March 28, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and for removing the project on Saturday, March 29, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

A report is required as a part of the project.

The maximum dimensions of the exhibit are 42 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 60 inches high. The maximum dimensions of the tri-fold display board are 30 inches across the back and 12 inches for each wing for a total of 54 inches.

The display board must include at least the following labels: TITLE, PURPOSE, Procedure, Materials (required for experiments, optional for models and collections), Procedure, Citations, and RESULTS/ CONCLUSIONS. The capitalized items must appear on the display board as shown in the diagram -- TITLE at the top of the middle panel, PURPOSE at the top of the left panel, and RESULTS/ CONCLUSIONS at the bottom of the right panel.

The "TITLE" is a statement, phrase, or question.

For experiments, the display board sections are taken from the following sections of your workbook:

  • "PURPOSE" is taken from the "Question or Problem" and "Hypothesis" sections.
  • "Procedure" is taken from the "Experimental Design" section.
  • "Materials" is taken from the "Materials and Equipment" section.
  • "RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS" is taken from "The Experiment" and "Conclusions" sections.

For "Citations," there must be at least three sources taken from the "Scientific Inquiry" section of your workbook.
