Variables, if identified, are controlled to some extent. Innovation ?The development and evaluation of innovative devices, models, techniques, or approaches in technology, engineering, or computers (hardware or software).Study ?Collection and analysis of data to reveal evidence of a fact or situation of scientific interest. May include a study of cause and effect relationships or theoretical investigations of scientific data. Part A – Scientific Thought (40 %)Points: ______According to the project category, chosen above, and the criteria listed below, choose an appropriate level for this project and write the corresponding number of points (must be a multiple of 10) in the space provided.? Level 1 (low)10 PointsEXPERIMENT: Duplicate a known experiment to confirm the hypothesis. The hypothesis is easily predictable.INNOVATION: Build a model (or device) that duplicates existing technology.STUDY… of existing printed material related to the basic issue.? Level 2 (fair)20 PointsEXPERIMENT: Extend a known experiment through modification of procedures, data gathering, and application.INNOVATION: Make improvements to, or demonstrate new applications for, existing technological systems or equipment and justify them.STUDY… of material collected through compilation of existing data and through personal observations. Display attempts to address a specific issue.? Level 3 (good)30 PointsEXPERIMENT: Devise and carry out an original experiment with controls. Variables are identified. Some significant variables are controlled. Analyses, such as graphs or simple statistics, are present and age appropriate.INNOVATION: Design and build innovative technology or provide adaptations to existing technology that will have human benefit and/or economic applications.STUDY… based on observations and literary research issues illustrating various options for dealing with a relevant issue. Appropriate analysis (arithmetic, statistical, or graphical) of some significant variable(s).? Level 4 (excellent)40 PointsEXPERIMENT: Devise and carry out original experimental research, which attempts to control or investigate most significant variables. Data analysis includes robust statistical analysis.INNOVATION: Integrate several technologies, inventions, or designs and construct an innovative technological system that will have human and/or commercial benefit.STUDY… correlating information from a variety of significant sources, which may illustrate cause and effect or original solutions to current problems through synthesis. Significant variable(s) are identified with in-depth statistical analysis of data.(DO NOT WRITE IN THIS AREA)Part B – Original Creativity (20 %)Points: ______Based on the criteria below, choose a level and write the corresponding number of points (multiple of 5) in the space provided.Level 1 (low) ?5 PointsLittle imagination shown. Project design is simple with little student input. A textbook or magazine type project.Level 2 (fair)?10 PointsSome creativity shown in the project with fair to good design. A standard approach using common resources or equipment. The topic is a current or common one.Level 3 (good)?15 PointsAn imaginative project. Good use of available resources. Well thought out, above ordinary approaches. Creativity shown in project design and/or use of materials.Level 4 (excellent)?20 PointsA highly original project or novel approach.
