Science fair

Salahaldin School Annual Science Fair is a very important part of your science education. It draws together not only the scientific content you have been learning, but also how scientists investigate and communicate their work on these topics.

The Science Fair project will be graded as part of Quarter 3 science grade and is split into three parts:

PART 1: Report – 64 marks

PART 2: Display – 24 marks

PART 3: Presentation – Competition

Part three is not graded, but the highest achievers will be entered into the final for the science fair and have a chance of taking home the prize, trophy and glory of being crowned ‘Salahaldin School Science Fair Champion 2015’.

You will receive feedback on each section after handing it in and then have additional time to make any changes suggested by your teacher until the final deadline it is due.

Teachers spend an awful lot of their time providing you with constructive feedback on how to achieve a better grade. Please make sure you read this and act on the suggestions they give you.

Deadlines

For each of the sections below, you will have an initial due date. After this your teacher will provide feedback on how well you have done. If you miss the initial due date you will NOT get feedback from your teacher. After feedback you will have time to improve your work before the final deadline. If you miss the final deadline that section will lose 20% for being one day late, 40% for being two days late and will score 0 if it is more than 2 days late.

The deadlines below are non-negotiable. If you are away at a tournament etc. it is your responsibility to hand your work in before the deadline.
