ZAPATA ACADEMY SCIENCE FAIR

Your Science grade will be determined by all of the things listed below.  Your research paper will be graded seperately, possibly by your Writing Teacher.  Your teacher(s) will discuss grading details and possibly provide a project rubric.

NEW THIS YEAR: You may choose to do a design project instead of the traditional experiment project. Design projects are aimed for projects dealing with technology, engineering and/or mathematics. In some cases design projects can also be used in Astronomy.

Check the requirements for an "experiment" or for a "design" project.
