2. REQUIRED TITLE SLIDE THE AFFECT THE DEPTH OF SAND HAS ON CONVECTION CURRENTS By Diana 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
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.
PROBLEM
PURPOSE
1 source Conduction
highlighted dataTime to go to the beach! The surface of the sand is really hot at the beach. Just a few inches down the sand is really cold. Objects transfer heat at different rates. Scientists call that ability thermal conductivity. Sand has a very low conductivity. At the beach, the sand acts like a big insulator. The sand on the top gets very hot, but conducts very little heat to the ground below

The Rule of Nines
To approximate the percentage of burned surface area, the body has been divided Right leg (below the knee) Left leg (below the knee)
Each of these sections takes about nine percent

4. REQUIRED QUESTION SLIDE Will 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

highlighted data plastic tube, about 20 mm in ID and about 200 mm in length. Fill the tube with the mixture and block the two ends tight with two thin (5-10 mm) cooper disks. Insert a few thermocouples at 20 mm internals (from end to end) into the tube. Steadily heat one of the copper disks at one end and cool the other copper piece at the other end. Moderate heating is sufficient.

6. REQUIRED HYPOTHESIS SLIDE If 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 - at oC 25
Sand, dry LOWER NUMBER MEANS LESS HEAT IS GOES DOWN THROUGH
Sand, moist    THE SAND SO THE SURFACE IS HOTTER
Sand, saturated 2 - 4

8. REQUIRED MATERIALS SLIDE
NOT a numbered list
All needed materials to complete the experiment are included
Amount needed and measurement of material are clearly discernible EXAMPLES:
500 ml glass beaker
Twelve 250 ml paper cups
6 glass stir rods
(12)250 ml paper cups
(6) glass stir rods

9. 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
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

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
