Project Title (Type creative project title here)
Theorem or Problem: (The Theorem you are trying to prove or the Problem you are trying to solve)
Examples:
Theory: Population growth can be modeled using ______________
Problem: How can you write super large numbers more easily?
Name:

Optional: You can include a photo of your project or a background that pertains to your project on this Project Title slide.
Summary
Write the Summary last, after all your results and analysis are finished.
The Summary is a description of your project, (350 words or less) and must include:
Research
Brief summary of what is known or has already been done in your project area. Include a brief review of relevant literature.
Describe how the proposed project is new compared to what has already been done
If this is a continuation project, a brief summary of your prior work is appropriate here. Be sure to
distinguish your previous work from this year’s project.
Provide citations for all resources used throughout the project on Slide 12 References, including other scientists’ work or projects that may have served as inspiration for your solution.
Theorem or Problem
What is the theorem/concept you are trying to prove or problem you are trying to solve?
Include notations, drawings, or diagrams if needed to explain what you are trying to prove/solve.
Notation and Framework
Introduce the concepts and notation needed to specify your research related to your theorem/problem.
Define relevant terms and explain.
Describe your methods.
Novel concepts developed as part of your project can be presented here or in Results slides, as appropriate.
If you are collecting data or using other existing data, describe the source, sample size, and how it will was collected.

If you are collecting data or using other existing data, describe the source, sample size, and how it will was collected.
Results – Data/Observations
What did you discover and/or prove? Describe in detail. Include raw data collected and any observations (quantitative or qualitative) for each finding.
Present rigorous proofs of your results.
(If the arguments are long, give sketches of the proofs that explain the main ideas here, and then include the details of your proof in the Lab Notebook images on Survey Monkey.)
For numerical/statistical results, include tables, graphs, and figures that illustrate your raw data. Use appropriate statistics (average, % error, and a variety of statistical tests) to analyze your results. Were any of your results statistically significant?
How do you know this?
(Include a data sheet for any data you collected in your Lab Notebook images on Survey Monkey.)

Use these questions to discuss your conclusions:
How do the results address the theorem or problem? How have you advanced our understanding relative to what was already known?
Did you project turn out as expected?
Discuss possible limitations. Did any questions or problems arise that you were not expecting?
What challenges do you foresee in extending your results further?
Summarize and Analyze your data including patterns, trends, errors and variables that could have influenced the results.
If data was collected, use appropriate statistics (average, % error, and a variety of statistical tests) to analyze your results.
You may want to discuss how your theory/solution is an improvement or advancement over what is currently known.
If available, relate your findings to other studies that are related to your problem or your theory/solution.
Conclusion/Results Discussion
