Student Observation Criteria

Your group's effort, cooperation, teamwork and colaboration will be observed by your teacher on a daily basis. These informal observations will be the basis of your Student Observation grade. This aspect of your project will contribute to 30 points of the 200 possible points. There are a variety of criteria which must be met to maximize your credit in this portion of your project. The criteria are:

Measurements	Consistently made careful measurements taking time to see that the measurements made sense.
Use of Class Time	Came to class prepared and equipped; made effective use of time; were always on task and actively involved in the project.
Team Work	Consistently worked together as a well-coordinated team; divided large task into a number of smaller tasks; smaller tasks were assigned to team members; team members pulled their own share.
Colaboration	Made successful efforts to colaborate with other students (in different classes or schools) and with scientists who are experts on the topic of study.
Communication/Leadership	Project leader was assigned; effectiveness of his/her role was clearly evident by the level of communication and coordination with each other and with the teacher.
