MSSF LEARN & CONNECT SESSIONS
SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
This session provides a taste of what it means to take part in MSSF. We review the important deadlines and how they impact the phases of a student’s project.
This session covers the types of projects needing review and approval for MSSF: human subjects; vertebrate animals; potentially hazardous activities, materials, & devices; and potentially hazardous biological agents.
This session stresses the importance of starting with the data: what data does a student need to collect to answer the essential question(s) of their project? Aaron Reedy from DataClassroom is our guest presenter.
This session goes over what teachers need to know to help their students enter their work into our science fair project management system.
Learn how to create an effective survey for a human subjects project. Students and teachers are welcome.
Teachers and students can join us on Zoom any Wednesday afternoon, starting January 19. Bring your science fair questions or problems and MSSF staff will help.
