Step 5E: Get permissions

What are the safety requirements for your experiment? Will you use human subjects or living organisms? There are rules for designing and carrying out experiments so that they are safe and ethical. Consult with your science teacher to make sure you will be able to get the necessary permissions to conduct your experiment.
