Science Project Self-Evaluation


Here are some questions to ask yourself:
 Have I done enough research so that Im an expert on my topic?
 Have I reviewed my project well enough so I can impress the judges?
 Do I have all the parts on my backboard in a NEAT & ATTRACTIVE way?
 Does my Daily Log have 2 sections?
1. Daily Work with dated entries,
2. Data where charts show that I recorded measurements WHILE
they were being made?
 Does my Summary follow the 5 Paragraph Formula?
 Do I have a Review of Literature or Research that will show that I tried
to understand my topic(s)?
 Did I do enough testing and was it scientific? Am I willing to do more if
necessary?
 Do my conclusions show that I did a lot of thinking about my testing, the
DATA I collected, and my review of literature (research)? Is it about one
page long?
 Do I have at least one GRAPH on my backboard?
 At the Fair, will I be dressed up, standing tall, smiling, making eye contact,
and being polite?

We certainly hope youll be smiling and standing tall!


Were proud of the work youve done too, and we want you to enjoy the Fair as you
proudly represent your best work!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
