• Abstract- An abstract is a summary of what you did, why you did it, and how you did it. It is a summary of the entire project: Science =Problem, hypothesis, procedure, results, and conclusion. • Engineering = Problem or purpose, engineering design testing redesign described, Final design success evaluated. • ~400 words or fewer. • For the remainder of the 10 slide Digital Project : – Maximum of 2 fonts. – Maximum of 2 font colors. – Only use graphics related to your project.

• Background Research/Information about the project ~400 words.

• Statement of Purpose or Problem • Science Project-Hypothesis (“If… then…” statement is acceptable) • Engineering Project- Specify Requirements • Materials (optional) -Metric System only

• Procedure/Engineering design process - Your procedure/process must contain detail sufficient to allow another person to understand your experiment. - Control and experimental trials clearly defined/ - engineering design and redesign clearly described. - Written by you—No copied procedures from the internet or other sources. - Metric System measurements only.

• Procedure/Process (cont’d) -- photographs of procedure/designs—if applicable. - Pictures of you performing the experiment/design prototypes showing your face are okay. - No pictures of other students (participants and subjects) showing their faces are allowed. - Adults need to give permission to have their faces appear.

• Results: - Data Tables, graphs, charts, – all titled and with appropriate labels. The number of trials and sample size must be evident. • Engineering: evidence of design test redesign process successful prototype. - Statistical Analysis of numerical data if applicable– mean (average) or percent change at least. This could also include standard deviation, error bars, chi-square, etc.

Results (cont’d): Data Tables, graphs, charts– all titled and with appropriate labels. The number of trials and sample size must be evident. Engineering: evidence of process=design test redesign successful prototype.

• Results (Cont’d): Data Tables, graphs, charts– all titled and with appropriate labels. The number of trials and sample size must be evident. - Pictures of results/designs if appropriate - highly recommended. - Short written summary of results/design success. Comparison of control with experimental where applicable. Maximum 150 words. — State facts- no analysis or conclusion.

• Conclusion: Analysis of results. Connect your hypothesis with the results to your conclusion. • Engineering: How did your engineering design meet the requirements you stated?

• Bibliography– Works cited (Minimum 5 for Middle School, 10 for High School) • Citation Format—Pp. 25 -26 of GSDSEF Sample Notebook--2019 revision at gsdsef. org - Works cited from the internet must have the complete, current url. (Screeners may check your sources. )
