- Each presenter should have 3 judges.
- Each presenter will present their project 3 times during the 20 minutes presentation session.
- I will blow the train whistle to indicate that it is time to rotate to a new presenter.
- At the end of each session the judges need to return their evaluation forms to the judges box.
- The next presenters will then have a 5 minute time period to prepare for their presentations, and the judges will use that time to get new evaluation forms, and to find new projects to evaluate.
- **When we are done each judge will have evaluated 9 Projects.

How to Present & Judge Research Projects
Presenters:
- Start by Introducing yourself
- Discuss why you chose the topic
- Share information about what the problem is
- Discuss what causes the problem to occur
- Share the effects on humans, nature, and the planet
- Present the solutions
- Talk about the graph, chart, or diagram you included
- Tell the judges about your images, and what you are trying to show with the images you chose
- Share your model and discuss what it is all about
- Be prepared to answer questions from the judges
Judges:
- Listen to the presenter share each part of their project
- As they share score them according to the each criteria.
- Give them a score from 1 - 5. You should be fair with your judging, but you should also have a reason for each score you give. (Scores are subjective, meaning that they are based partly on your opinion)
- Once you have scored each category ask questions to the presenters about their projects.
- Lastly, make any comments you would like.
- Add up your total points and put the score in the space provided.
Now....
- Find a friend and set up your project some place in the room or at the end of the hall. Practice presenting your project.
