**Scientific Process and Background:** ☑ Clear aim/hypothesis carried through ☑☑ Method, accurate experimentation ☑ Accurate experimentation, controls, variables, repetitions ☑☑ Results clear, accurate, include appropriate data ☑☑ Conclusions are in line with aim/hypothesis ☑☑ Results are interpreted and discussed (conclusion)

**Technical Skill:** ☒ Design of the experiment ☑ Use of apparatus and materials

**Originality:** ☒ Imaginative/creative ideas ☒ New/Unusual application in science

**Presentation of Display:** ☑☑ Colour/form/clarity/graphics ☑ Innovative appeal

**Log Book:** ☑☑ Authentic ongoing record with raw data included ☒ Has supporting documentation, bibliography, acknowledgements

**Teacher Comment: You have created a bright fun and appealing board. You have used a range of materials and have recorded your results well Shreya well done. Why did you choose this topic was there any relevance of it? You have included a very detailed explanation here Shreya however it appears that you do not understand your explanation as you cannot talk about it when asked to. This is really important for you to know and get a better understanding of the science behind your results and make sure that you understand them. Overall you have done a great job** **Student Comment:**

====Please Note:  ==== ====This table is different from the one outlined in the above Science Fair booklet. There will be __**no extensions**__ given, Class time will be given for writing up aim, hypothesis, instructions, explanations, diagrams, tables etc and putting displays together. Parents please support your child with carrying out their experiments as this will be the main element of their homework during Science Fair. ====
