FILES LEÊRS

Files you will need are:

1) A REPORT FILE which is the neat, logically ordered, indexed file:

Introduction and background – more extensive in file than on poster. Why was your research relevant and important?

Aim, Hypothesis or Engineering goal Methods and Material s – enough detail for

someone else to repeat your work. Include variables. Add photos where applicable.

Results – all graphs and tables Analysis of results – explain what you got in

words, more extensive than on poster Discussion of results – highlighting patterns,

trends and unusual findings. Point out limitations and explain findings.

Conclusion/s - must be valid and reliable, refer back to aim/hypothesis/engineering goal

Applications of results – where could your findings be used

Possible extensions – how could you take your research further in future

Acknowledgements - help you got and from who.

References – make sure you do it in the right way (see white envelope content)

2) A DATA FILE with e.g. your rough data, sketches, plans, notes, emails sent, timeline of events - what was done and when, where and how, records of interviews done, questionaires, etc.

Include a section on the literature or background study you have done.

Photos – as many as you like

3) AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS FILE Include your abstract, plagiarism form, research plan and all ethical clearance documents such as a signed letter of permission from a mentor and/or a laboratory, a copy of your survey form, letters of consent from participants (where applicable), etc.

Wat die leêrs betref het julle nodig:1) ‘n VERSLAGLEÊR wat netjies, logies georden en

geἲndeks is: Inleiding en agtergrond – meer volledig in leer

as op plakkaat. Hoekom was jou navorsing relevant en belangrik?

Doel, Hipetese of Ingenieursdoelwit Metodes en Materiale – dit moet volledig

genoeg wees vir iemand it foto'anders om dit te herhaal. Sluit veranderlikes in. Sit foto’s in waar van toepassing.

Resultate – alle grafieke en tabelle Analise van resultate – verduidelik jou resultate

in woorde, meer volledig in leer as op plakkaat Bespreking van resultate – lig patrone, neigings

en vreemde bevindings uit. Noem beperkings wat ervaar is en verduidelik resultate.

Gevolgtrekkings – moet geldig en betrouaar wees. Verwys terug na doel/hipotese/ingenieursoogmerke

Toepassing van resultate – waar bevindings gebruik kan word.

Moontlike uitbreidings – hoe kan hierdie navorsing verder geneem word

Erkennings – van wie het jy hulp gekry en wat was die aard van die hulp

Verwysings – maak seker dit is op die regte manier gedoen ( kyk na wit koevert se inhoud)

2) ‘N DATA LÊER met bv. al jou rowwe data, sketse, plans, notas, eposse gestuur, ‘n tydlyn of joernal – wat het wanneer en hoe gebeur, foto’s, notas van onderhoude wat gedoen is, ens.

Sluit ‘n gedeelte in wat oor jou literatuurstudie of agtergrondstudie gaan.

Foto’s – soveel as wat jy wil.

3) ‘N AMPTELIKE DOKUMENTE LEÊR Dit moet jou abstract (in Engels), plagiaatvorm, navorsingsplan en etiese uitklaringsdokumente, bv. ‘n getekende toestemmingsbrief van jou mentor of laboratorium, toestemmingsbriewe van deelnemers (waar van toepassing), ens. insluit.

POSTERS PLAKKATE

The dimensions of the poster board supplied at the regional competition, or the boards you can buy from our office are 1m high, a 1m centre part with 0.5m sides.

Remember that your poster must be a summary of your project. The poster must be legible from 2meters away.

You might want to measure it out on a table or the floor, lay out the content, and then take a photo of the final layout with your cell phone. Setting up in Boksburg will be easy if you can work from a photo.

The poster content should be:       Title – paste underneath the blue strip in the middle Name, Grade, School, Region - on the top of the

side panels or next to the logo on the centre panel. Introduction and Background ( summarized) - why is

this research important, to give context for what is to follow.

        Aim/ Hypothesis / Engineering goal - what you wanted to achieve through this research.

        Method and Materials (summarized) – what you used and did in short - include fixed, independent and dependent variables if you did experiments

        Results – important graphs and tables (the heart of your project)

        Analysis of results (summarized) - your results in words

        Discussion of results – highlighting patterns, trends and unusual findings. Possible applications of your findings.

Conclusion/s – must be valid and reliable, refer back to aim/hypothesis/engineering goal

Applications of results – where could your findings be used

Possible extensions – how could you take your research further in future

        Acknowledgements –help did you get and from who.

        Photos (unless you have taken it yourself remember to acknowledge who took it or where you got it).

Please use the same font size and font type for the entire content and same font but a bigger font size for the headings.

Remember the Prestik, please. No other means of attaching the project content is allowed.

Die afmetings van die plakkaatbord soos verskaf by die streekekspo, of wat van ons aangekoop kan word is 1m hoog, dit het ;n 1m breë binneste deel en 0.5m kante.

Onthou dat dit ‘n opsomming van jou projek moet wees. Die plakkaat moet op ‘n afstand van 2meter gelees kan word.

Meet die grootte van die plakkaat op ‘n tafel of die grond uit word, lê die inhoud uit en neem die finale uitleg met die selfoon af. Die opstelling in Boksburg sal maklik wees as jy van ‘n foto af kan werk.

Die plakkaatinhoud moet die volgende behels : Titel – plak dit in die middel onder die blou EXPO as

die amptelike bord gebruik word Naam, graad, skool en streek – bo aan die sypanele Inligting en agtergrond – sê hoekom jou navorsing

belangrik is, gee konteks Doel/ Hipotese/ Ingenieursdoelwit – wat jy wil bereik

deur jou navorsing Metode en material e (‘n opsomming) – wat jy

gebruik en gedoen het – sluit in jou vaste, onafhanklike en afhanklike veranderlikes as jy eksperimente gedoen het

Resultate – die belangrikste grafieke en tabelle (die hart van jou projek)

‘n Analise van die resultate – jou resultate in woorde beskryf

Bespreking - lig patrone, neigings en onnatuurlike bevindings uit. Gee moontlike toepassing van bevindings

Gevolgtrekking – moet geldig en betroubaar wees, verwys terug na die doel/ hipotese / ingenieursdoelwit

Toepassing van resultate – waar kan jou bevindings gebruik word

Moontlike uitbreidings – hoe kan jou navorsing uitgebrei word

Erkennings – van wie het jy hulp ontvang en wat was die hulp

Foto’s – gee erkenning aan die persoon wat die foto’s geneem het, tensy dit jyself is.

Gebruik dieselfde lettertipe en –grootte vir al die inhoud. Opskrifte kan groter wees.

Onthou Prestik asseblief. Geen ander manier mag gebruik word om projekinhoud op die bord vas te sit nie.
