Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I need help understanding why my 3rd teenager has been denied a topic in human behavior being what things scare people the most and why the teacher she has is an average teacher who just isnt as concerned,all he says is it is too much research if any one can help me understand this i would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
I'd like to help you understand why the topic was denied, but it isn't clear to me who denied the topic. Was it the teacher, the school system, or the science fair administrators?

Since many schools do not allow any research on any human subjects, regardless the topic, possibly this is why the project was denied.

Here is a link with more information about the use of human subject and inform consent in science fair. https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ects.shtml
