Assignment:
- Complete and turn in last week’s Activity Log by end of day today (Monday, May 2nd).
- Use this week to organize your collected project data (both quantitative and qualitative) and artifacts (pictures, videos, working models) and produce a five minute presentation to be delivered on Thursday or Friday of this week.
- Your presentation should include the following information:
- Your driving question
- A description of the experimental procedure that you followed to answer your driving question.
- A graphical representation of the data that you collected in your experiments.
- A description of your findings and results, and how they helped (or failed) to answer your driving question.
- A demonstration of the results of your experimentation, in the form of one of the three pre-determined products:
- Option 1 – 100 points: A demonstration of the working model of your project, along with a written description of the steps you followed to complete the model, your experimentation procedure and the results of your experiment that lead to the answer to your guiding question you reached.
- A video of the working model of your project in action will be acceptable for this option.
- Option 2 – 85 points: A PowerPoint presentation that discusses all the elements of your experiment and details the steps you followed to complete the project, your experimentation procedure, and the results of your experiment that lead to the answer you reached.
- Option 3 – 70 points: A poster that discusses all of the elements of your experiment, and details the steps you followed to complete the project, your experimentation procedure and the results of your experiment that lead to the answer you determined for your guiding question.
- Option 1 – 100 points: A demonstration of the working model of your project, along with a written description of the steps you followed to complete the model, your experimentation procedure and the results of your experiment that lead to the answer to your guiding question you reached.
- Remember that these products need to include both the written and visual elements to receive full credit.
- This presentation represents a major portion of the overall project grade, and cannot be made up next week due to review and preparation for final exams. Please use your time wisely and plan to deliver your presentation on either Thursday or Friday of this week.
