Student(s) :__________________________________State:_____________________________
Category: __________________________________ Division: _________________________
_____ 15 pts. Knowledge Gained - Is there evidence that the student has acquired scientific
skills and/or knowledge by doing this project? Does the exhibitor recognize the scope
and limitation of the problem he/she has selected?
_____ 15 pts. Scientific Approach - Has the problem been clearly stated? Has the exhibitor
solved the problem by using scientific facts as a basis for new conclusions? Is the
exhibitor aware of the basic scientific principles that lend support to the methods used
and the conclusions reached?
_____ 15 pts. Experimental Research - Has data been gathered from work done by the student,
rather than the results from the work of others? Is the exhibitor’s equipment effective?
Does it do what it was intended to do? Can the research be the basis for further
experimentation? Is the project actually a model or demonstration? Have variables been
clearly identified and controlled for in the research process?
_____ 15 pts. Individual/Team Work - Has material been gathered and cited using an
appropriate format? Is the logbook present for examination? Does the log book contain
detailed information about the research process? If this was a team project, is there
evidence of collaboration present? Identify the portions of the presentation representing
the work of others.
_____ 15 pts. Thoroughness - Is the exhibitor aware of the empirical method (the necessity of
repeating trials) and the importance of controlling the variables in the experimentation
in order to reach valid conclusions? Has the analysis of the problem been orderly? Have
procedures been outlined in a step-by-step fashion? How successfully was the original
plan carried through to completion?
_____ 15 pts. Information - Are known facts and principles stated correctly and used
accurately? Have the results of experiments been reported accurately even though faulty
experimental methods or conditions may have made the data unreliable? If so, have the-
se errors been noted?
_____ 15 pts. Results/Conclusions - Has the exhibitor started with known facts and drawn their
own conclusions? Are the conclusions consistent with the data and/or observations? Is
information provided as to what was learned as a result of research?
_____ 15 pts. Interview - Is the exhibitor able to communicate their knowledge of the project?
_____ 15 pts. Visual Display - Has the data been presented in the best manner for the particular
type of information involved? Are spelling errors present? Does the exhibit demonstrate
a general neatness and attractiveness? Is the display presented in a logical and
interesting manner?
_____ 45 pts. Written Project Report – (Scored during prescreening process) Are all
components of the written report available? Has the exhibitor made thorough use of the
data, literature cited, interviews, correspondence, etc. and noted them properly?
Considering the age and experience of the exhibitor, does the project make use of their
abilities?
________/180 TOTAL SCORE
In the event of a tie, winner will be determined based on the score of the written project report. If a tie
still exists, the tie will be broken on scores received in the following sections in order: Interview,
Thoroughness, Information and Results/Conclusions.
