Science Fair Project Presentation Transcript

Slide 1 - Science Fair Projects Atlantis Elementary 2008-2009
Slide 2 - Concerns About Science Projects “So what kind of a project is required?” Allowable Projects: Experimental type projects that use the scientific method with a testable question. Ex. How Does aspirin affect the growth rate of roses? Projects Not Allowed: Research projects (What is a hurricane?) or models (a paper mache' volcano). These do not involve testing.
Slide 3 - Science Project Categories Physical: Projects related to the physical sciences such as physics, chemistry and astronomy that deal primarily with non-living materials.
Slide 4 - Science Project Categories Biological: Projects that deal with the vital processes of living organisms and how these processes are affected as a result of manipulating a variable. *No animals may be harmed*.
Slide 5 - Science Project Categories Environmental: Projects dealing with human’s relationship with the earth and human’s effect on the earth. The student should show clearly the connection between humans and their environment both in the written and oral presentation.
Slide 6 - Project Overview Independent Variable The variable you are “messing with”. Dependent Variable The variable that you will record and measure. It’s changes “depend” on the independent variable. Control Variable All aspects of this variable must remain constant. “How Does Aspirin Affect the Growth Rate of Roses?” “What is the Effect of Coke on the Decay of Teeth?” Variables
Slide 7 - A hypothesis is a statement about what you think will happen in the experiment. It is stated in a positive manner. Avoid statements like “I think” and “I predict.” The hypothesis should be in the form of “If ___, then___.” Examples: If I measure the bouncing height of a new basketball with three different pressures, then the ball with the highest pressure will bounce 10% higher. If I feed my dog four different dog foods, then he will like Alpo the best. If I survey all students in my kindergarten class about their favorite color gummy bear, then most students will choose green. Project Overview Hypothesis
Slide 8 - The materials section is a detailed list of everything used in the experiment. Include what, how much, and what kind of things used. They are typically measured in metrics. Project Overview Materials Non-Example Water Flower pots Seeds Dirt Example 5 liters of rain water Six 4 cm. clay pots 12 bush bean seeds 10 liters of potting soil
Slide 9 - The procedure is a listing of steps used in the experiment. It is very detailed, like a recipe. It makes it easy for someone to duplicate the experiment. Project Overview Procedure
Slide 10 - Results include both data and observations. Look at measurements recorded in the Daily Log. Think about the data and observations and decide what those results mean. Try to use mathematical calculations such as mean, median, mode, and range (be sure your students know these words before using them). Construct graphs or tables that will show results clearly. Project Overview Analyzing the Results
Slide 11 - Look at the data. The conclusion can be written in two paragraphs. Did the data support the hypothesis? If not, why do you think it did not? What would be done differently the next time? Do not worry about negative results, or results that come out differently than expected. Just explain why you think you got those results. If the results turned out as expected, explain why you think it turned out this way. Project Overview Writing the Conclusion
Slide 12 - Project Overview Writing the Summary The summary is a wrap-up of the entire project. It should be very comprehensive and complete. It can be written in 5 paragraphs. Here are some examples:
Slide 13 - Project Overview Writing the Summary Paragraph 1: Tell what the question was and why you chose this topic. “My problem is _______? I decided on this project because_______. I started asking questions and found out that_____________”
Slide 14 - Project Overview Writing the Summary Paragraph 2: Tell the hypothesis and explain why you thought this would happen. “My hypothesis was ____________. I thought this would be true because_________.”
Slide 15 - Project Overview Writing the Summary Paragraph 3: Tell how you tested the hypothesis. Do not tell the step-by-step procedures, just explain the experiment. Tell how many times you repeated the tests. Mention the variables you controlled to make sure the testing was fair. Describe the difference between the control group and experimental group. “I tested my hypothesis by ________________. To make sure the experiment was fair, I _________.”
Slide 16 - Project Overview Writing the Summary Paragraph 4: Tell about your results. Include some of the most important data such as totals and averages of measurements. You should also mention one or two of your most important or unusual observations. “While doing my science project, I observed that _______. Also _______. Another interesting thing that happened was _______.”
Slide 17 - Project Overview Writing the Summary Paragraph 5: Tell about your conclusions. Say whether or not the data supported the evidence. Tell about the most important thing you learned. Tell how people in general (or scientists) might apply this information to everyday life. If you could do this project over again, what would you do different?. “My data (did or did not) support my hypothesis. The most important thing I learned was ____. My results show _____. This information can be used by _____. If I were to do this project over again, I would _____.
Slide 18 - Project Overview Bibliography (5th & 6th Grade & Team) This is an alphabetical listing of all books, articles, people, interviews, websites, etc. used as resources during the investigation. Examples of how to write bibliographies can be found at the following website: http://www.bialik.netaxis.qc.ca/homework/stylesheet2.htm http://www.noodletools.com
Slide 19 - Science Project Display Board Problem (Title) The question that asks what you want to find out Hypothesis Materials _____ _____ _____ Procedure 1. _____ 2. _____ 3.______ Research/Data pictures, charts, graphs or drawings Results Conclusion I found out that ______ Variables Control, dependent, and independent
