REQUIRED PJAS SLIDES IN ORDER

1. REQUIRED PJAS SLIDES IN ORDER All slides have…. white background same size and font titles same size and font text text can be seen from across the room when projected Title Research Problem/Purpose/Question Hypothesis Materials Procedure Data Collected Graphs of results Analysis Conclusion Weaknesses/Improvements Future Studies/Research Works Sited

2. REQUIRED TITLE SLIDETHE AFFECT THE DEPTH OF SAND HAS ON CONVECTION CURRENTSByDiana Kelly Title is the broad area of study First and Last Name are after the title May decorate with small, discreet, clip art or other media that is relevant to the topic in the corners to not block the title or name

3. PROBLEM: Hot sand burns bare feet.PURPOSE: To determine if digging a path to moist sand would reduce the sand temperature and prevent feet from blistering which is 18% of the body sections.

4. REQUIRED QUESTION SLIDEWill a digging a path in the sand reduce the temperature of the walkway path to prevent feet from blistering when walking on hot sand on 95 degree days? 1 Question answers the problem via an experiment 2 Question relates to the problem and purpose 3 One question is asked

5. REQUIRED QUESTION RESEARCH SLIDE

6. REQUIRED HYPOTHESIS SLIDEIf sand temperatures are measured at vertical depths of 0 cm (control), 2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm; then the 6 cm vertical depth will be the coldest temperature. Formatted as an if…then statement Position is stated as an outcome measurement (dependent variable) Independent variable included and data provided for experimental groups Supports research

7. REQUIRED VOCABULARY SLIDE Thermal conductivity is the quantity of heat transmitted through a unit thickness in a direction normal to a surface of unit area, due to a unit temperature gradient under steady state conditions Thermal conductivity measured in k - W/(m.K)@Temperature at oC25 Sand, dry 0.15 - 0.25 LOWER NUMBER MEANS LESS HEAT IS GOES DOWN THROUGH Sand, moist 0.25 - 2    THE SAND SO THE SURFACE IS HOTTER Sand, saturated 2 - 4

8. NOT a numbered list All needed materials to complete the experiment are included Amount needed and measurement of material are clearly discernible EXAMPLES: REQUIRED MATERIALS SLIDE

9. Fill the plastic lid measuring l w h with 8 cm of sand. • Tap the lid on a flat surface • use a ruler to measure the depth at the four corners and approximate center • Repeat steps 1-3 to achieve an even vertical depth of 8 cm throughout the lid • Mark the edges of the plastic lid by placing painter’s tape on the flat surface to maintain the same position • Position a sun lamp 10 cm above the plastic lid • To measure sand temperatures use a thermometer with masking taped markings measured at 0cm, 2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm • Push the thermometer down to the 6 cm marking in the center of the lid • Wait 30 seconds, • Recording the temperature • Withdraw the thermometer to 4cm and repeat steps 8-11 in the 4 corners at 4 cm, 2 cm, and then 0 cm • Turn on the sun lamp, check surface temperature every 30 min until surface temperature is 80 C or greater • Repeat steps 8 through 12 REQUIRED PROCEDURE SLIDE(s)each slide is titled procedure No pronouns Verb (action word) starts blurb Numbered steps Blurbs in order needed to perform experiment Measurements and quantity used or times performed included Repeated steps refer to number and state “Repeat steps x through y” for experimental group z or control group

10. REQUIRED PHOTOGRAPH SLIDE Photographs of procedure being performed

11. REQUIRED DATA SLIDE DATA IS NOT THE TITLE Title defines data actually collected (the independent variable, dependent variable, AND control are stated) EXAMPLE: Temperature of sand at 0 cm , 2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm below the surface. Data is in a table Data includes averages Data is in metric units Data is a measured outcome of the independent variable (related)

12. REQUIRED GRAPH SLIDE(S) Title of slide is X axis title vs Y axis title One graph may show all data and averages or more than one graph may be needed If time is used as a variable the data for the sample is kept together on different graphs to avoid confusion and an average graph has all data of all samples 8 parts to a graph title of graph is x axis title vs y axis title x axis title (independent variable) y axis title (dependent variable) x axis label in lower right corner y axis label in upper left corner scale of x is accurate, metric, and spans the graph scale of the y is accurate, metric, and spans the graph data is clearly plotted (key if needed)

13. REQUIRED ANALYSIS SLIDE Bullets for blurbs that discuss graphed results Analysis includes specific sample name and measured independent variable Analysis is sufficient to provide details to the conclusion No opinions are stated No reason for outcome is provided Consists of only an analysis of the data as presented in the graphs

14. REQUIRED CONCLUSION SLIDE Reflects a restatement of the hypothesis Includes the result that related to the problem, purpose, and question Does not provide opinion Does not provide reason Does not state I was right or wrong, my hypothesis was right or wrong, accepted or rejected Reflects only the restatement of the hypothesis to reflect the results collected in the data.

15. REQUIRED WEAKNESSES/IMPROVEMENTS SLIDE Thoughtful consideration given to… Lab practices/techniques Control of experiment Available equipment Neatness to prevent cross contamination

16. REQUIRED FUTURE STUDIES SLIDE RESEARCH FOR FUTURE STUDY FUTURE STUDY IS STATED HERE 1 source highlighted data FUTURE STUDY IS STATED HERE 1 source highlighted data FUTURE STUDY IS STATED HERE 1 source highlighted data Connected to current experiment

17. REQUIRED WORKS SITED SLIDE 1. FORMAT IS POSTED AT
