In each of the 5
categories your task is to demonstrate what you learned this year in Science
with at least 10 examples explained or demonstrated (e.g. how to use an
equation or write the name of a chemical compound).
Your mark will be based
on:
1. Being thorough and
covering a broad range of topics
2. Being clear and showing
understanding by labeled pictures, diagrams, descriptions in your own words,
step by step calculations, 'how to descriptions'...
3. Using your chosen
method effectively
4. Being able to answer 3
questions based on your project during "EXAM DAY"--(for the game
options will need to play the game with your partner)
