23 STATISTICS FOR SCIENCE FAIRS HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENTS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF SUCCESS AT PBRSEF

24 Project Judging at SSEF 1. First, divide projects in orbit and focus groups 2. Use scores to group similar level projects in focus group 3. Discuss top scoring projects to determine overall category winner 4. Last year, much debate over specific project a. Scores ranked from 1st 10th depending on judge b. Upon further discussion, deciding factor came down to use of statistics (incorrect statistics for experimental design) c. Likely would ve placed higher, possibly 1st with correct statistics.

25 JUDGE S PERSPECTIVE Are there statistics? Are they the right statistics? Does the student understand the statistics? Students don t need to know the underlying calculations being used, just how they work and what they mean

26 COMMON PITFALLS Experimental design with small sample sizes Using averages to make conclusions about data results without looking at the variability in the data Correlation vs. Causation Extrapolation of data Off-the-shelf programs (i.e. Excel) make statistics easy to use, therefore easy to use incorrectly No statistics at all

27 ROLE OF TEACHERS/ADVISORS Students are not often familiar with statistics initial exposure Preliminary discussion prior to starting project Good statistical analysis is derived during experimental design Make sure sample size is adequate Understand what tests will help determine significance/validity Reassess statistics as data collection begins Modifications to design may be necessary Find mentor to assist with statistics, if needed

28 FINAL THOUGHTS Proper use and understanding of statistics are often the deciding factor between the top projects Give your students the upper hand by discussing statistics at the start of the project Review data and industry standards to determine the correct statistical analysis based on experimental design Properly quantify statistical results in the context of project If possible, review statistical procedures/results with students prior to science fair by knowledgeable mentor

29 Resources for Students Using Statistics 1. Your friendly Math Department! NCCSTS: Mini Cases on Choosing Appropriate Statistical Tests for Ecological Data case_id=864&id=864

30 SSEF - Reinforcing Adult Roles Liability - even for adult sponsor! Parents should NOT be serving on the SRC reviewing their child s project! Who is the Chair of your SRC - that person should sign Form 1B Use your Administrator - increase involvement

31 Regulated Research Institutions - Form 1C Minors working at RRI REQUIRES additional approval from the institute. Please make sure the student has a letter indicating: The student had permission to use the RRI facilities The student has permission to use the data for their Science Fair project (publication).

32 Human Research Projects 1. Informed Consent a. b. c. 2. All minors need parental consent and minor assent. (High school students aged 18 are still considered minors!) Adults over age 18 need Informed consent. Date: After approval, but before start date. Privacy a. b. c. d. All consent forms remain with the student researcher for 3 years after the study. Adult Sponsor completes Verification of Informed Consent. (# counted = # data points) One REDACTED COPY of a completed informed consent should be included. Redact ONLY the signature (NOT THE DATE)

33

34 Updates from State: Zika & Algae Blooms 1. Projects involving student contact with the Zika virus, or any Zika carrier/vector, may only be done by High School students and must be conducted at a Regulated Research Institution. 2. Projects involving student contact with cyanobacterial blooms, or the recent algae bloom in our area must also be done by High School students only at a Regulated Research Institution.

35 Vertebrate Projects: Mortality Form Mortality must be 0% due to experimental procedures. If a vertebrate dies during the experiment: All procedures STOP until a necropsy is performed by a qualified veterinarian to verify the cause of death is NOT the experimental procedures. If more than 30% of the total vertebrates die (for ANY reason) the experiment is terminated and cannot compete.

36 Bridge Challenge Please contact: Maria Aparicio Elizabeth Wenk Bridges are checked in the same day as projects, and crushing will be Wednesday morning (during the public viewing day).
