| PJAS ORAL PRESENTATION |
| When you decide to be in a science fair, you must consider your presentation as important as any other part of your project. PRACTICE will make the difference in how well you present yourself to the judges. Here is a step-by-step approach to constructing your 10 minute oral presentation: 1. Introduce yourself. "Hello, my name is ____." 2. Give the title of your project. "The title of my project is _______." 3. Explain the purpose of your project. "The purpose of my project is _____." 4. Tell the judges how you got interested in this topic followed by all the research that was important to your project. 5. State your Hypothesis and support it with why you believe what you stated. 6. Explain your procedure. "The procedure that I followed was ____." 7. Show your results. If you have charts, graphs, or a notebook, show them to the judges and explain them. If results are shown on your backboard, point them out. 8. List your conclusions. Explain what you have proven. If you think that you had some problems or error in your experiments, don't be afraid to admit these. 9. Tell the judges what you might do in the future to continue your experimentation. What would you have done differently if you were to do the project again? 10. Of what importance is your project to the world? Explain any applications of your study. *11. "Do you have any questions?" If you do not know the answer to a judge's questions, then say, "I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer, but I think it is ___________." 12. Thank the judges. * this is one of the most important areas. "Be prepared for the judges questions." This means anticipate, make additional overheads, and be confident in your research and data. If the judges don't ask questions, you may use this time to give this additional information. ** All areas should be backed with overheads and pictures to support your topic. |
