  2. Resources for ideas- Intel ISEF • ISEF Intel Categories National Renewable Energy Laboratory Education Programs file:///C:/Users/MVGS%20TC%2011/Documents/1.%20Research/Research%20project%20ideas/highschool_projects.pdf

  3. Resources for ideas- Intel ISEF • Intel ISEF Resources for students • Rules Wizard • SRC FAQs • Forms/dates • Project Database

  4. Process Resources- Intel ISEF • Intel ISEF Resources for students

  5. Student Handbook- Intel ISEF • Pick your topic • Research your topic • Emphasize school data bases & academic sources • Organize • Experimental Design Diagram- Intel ISEF paper work- Research Plan Form • Make a time table • Work backwards • Research Timeline

  6. Student Handbook • Plan your experiment • Feasibility Worksheet • Consult with Adult Sponsor & get approvals • Review Feasibility Worksheet • Intel ISEF Paper Work • Conduct Experiment • Analyze your results • Draw conclusion • No matter what you have result

  7. Elements of Success- Intel ISEF • Project Data Book • Place “everything” in book. • Even if it appears messy. Do not erase. • Annotated Bibliography or printed articles • Good notes show consistency and thoroughness to judges • Help when writing paper • Include data tables (date each entry)

  8. The Research Paper- Intel ISEF • Introduction • Materials and Methods • Results • Data analysis (next slide) • Discussion • Conclusions • References • Do not put acknowledgments on project board • Helps with the necessary processing and organization of information before placing on display board. • Place paper in front of tri-fold to impress the judges. • Build it into the process. • VJAS Style Manual very helpful.

  9. Data Analysis

  10. Research Paper- Intel ISEF • Abstract • First in paper, but write it last • Separate Abstract Form • Max 250 words which include: • Purpose of the experiment • Procedures used • Data and conclusions • Title page last • Add header in paper
