Four parts of the Science Project

Students,
As I have instructed you both in science class and during Team Time there are 4 parts to the science project that will be graded.

The first is the Research Paper. The full description is in the student handbook found at the ISEF site. The rubric is posted. The paper is worth 100 points towards assessments.  Put a copy of your abstract in the research paper also.

The second is the visual display or backboard. The abstract will be a part of this display. Refer to the nefrsef site as there is a diagram that is a SUGGESTION about how to set up the board. The abstract is placed in the lower left hand corner. You will use the backboard when you present your research to your "judges" which include me and your peers.  This is also worth 100 points towards assessments.

The third is your oral presentation of your research. This will be graded only by the teacher, but your peers will provide feedback on your project itself, the board, your presentation, and your depth of knowledge. This is also worth 100 points towards assessments.

The fourth is your Science Project Data Log that we began in class back in the August/September time. This is where you've kept a record of everything you have done towards completing your project. (No, you can't go back and do it today.) It is worth 100 points towards assessments.
