» - » You must have a project design form signed by your science teacher before you begin your project. The project design form and this form must be returned with your project. Failure to return both forms will result in a penalty of 5%. If you begin your project before obtaining your science teacher's signature on the project design form, your project may be disqualified. » - » Check the TARGET GRADE (most likely your maximum grade) at the top of the page. » - » You may not use AC electricity to power your project. Only DC electricity of less than 5 amperes & 15 volts is permitted. » - » You may not copy another student's design for your project (except for bridges & towers). Yours must be significantly different. » - » You may not do the same project twice without permission from your science teacher. » - » In order to earn “bonus points” and extra credit, your project must be handed in by the due date, and must earn at least 96 %. » - » Projects handed in more than 4 days late will not be presented or tested in class. » - » You must complete a project design form and get it signed by your teacher before you begin your project. |
| OBJECTIVE -
The
objective of this exercise is to develop a computer program which provides
users with a question/answer self test or review that will help them learn
facts and/or concepts associated with physical science.
PROJECT GUIDELINES 1. Read the INDEPENDENT PROJECT GENERAL GUIDELINES first. 2. Complete a project design form and get it signed by your science teacher. 3. Your program must be an original computer program written by you. It cannot be a program written by someone else and modified by you. 4. Programs must be written in Visual basic, GW basic, or Quickbasic and presented to your science teacher on a 3.5" computer diskette. 5. Programs must be based on facts and concepts covered by our textbook. 6. Your program must provide a question/answer self test or review of at least 30 physical science facts or concepts. 7. Programs may be designed for: -- a narrow topic (e. g. periodic chart of the elements, density); -- a unit of our textbook (e. g. force & work, motion, waves); -- general physical science knowledge covering several units. 8. All programs must be accompanied by easily understood instructions (either on paper or on the screen). 9. You must demonstrate your program to your class for full credit. 10. See the Grading Criteria for how you can earn an A+.* |
