How the project illustrates the key concepts Your project product has been designed by you to: 1. illustrate the key concepts in your project and

Girraween High School Science Faculty 2007 2. show how they relate to each other and 3. show how your topic fits into the whole chapter. Use the table below to explain how your product illustrates your topic. If you have made a powerpoint, then you need to describe what is on each slide and indicate what that slide contributes to the story you are telling about your topic. If you have made a sculpture or diorama you need to identify each feature you have incorporated and indicate what that feature contributes to the story you are telling about your topic. If you have made a script for a play, you need to identify what each character represents, and how the scene tells your story. You should break the action up into “moments” and be able to indicate what each contributes to the whole. Do not hesitate to ask advice if you unsure. The same basic procedure applies for any product that you have made. If you need help, just ask. You can ask by email if you can’t wait till school. The table has two examples in it already to help see how to fill it in. Delete these entries and replace with your information.
