Elementary STEM Fair Rules
The following are NOT allowed - NO EXCEPTIONS:
Live VERTEBRATE animals (invertebrate animals need to be approved by the District Coordinator)
Microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi: yeast, mold, mushrooms, etc.)
alcohol, fire, hazardous chemicals, or firearms (including Nerf-style guns) regardless of parental supervision
Human subjects may be used if they’re not actually the focus of the experiment

testing the effect of music on plants is not using humans if they're the ones playing the instrument.
Using simulated germs and testing handwashing is testing humans, it’s testing the hand washing process.
