Animal experimentation is always a sticky topic at Science Fair time. The Science Fair Handbook offers some guidelines when helping students choose the types of animals to study. "The basic aims of experiments involving animals are to achieve an understanding of life processes and to further human knowledge…It is strongly recommended that certain living organisms, such as plants, yeast, protozoans, planaria, daphnia, rotifera, paramecia, earthworms, snails, insects, and other invertebrates be used."
But don't forget; the animal cannot be displayed at the fair--Science Fair LOVES plants. -- This is the CPS Science Teacher List.
