A collaborative,Inter – disciplinary project.

It is a requirement for IB and KIS diploma.

So it is mandatory.

Recreate a real problem solving situation that could take place in the

real world.


This sounds tough?

work with others!!

TEAM WORK


What does team work mean?

You will be working as a part of a team of a dozen students. You will be evaluated on

• How do you approach the project? Are you self motivated? Do you follow it through completion?• Do you collaborate and communicate with the group? Do you respect and integrate the view of other members of the group?• Do you show an awareness of your strengths and weaknesses?• Do you give thoughtful consideration to yours and peers’ learning?


How do I go about?The steps to follow are:

1. Orientation2. Theme3. Planning4. Experimental work5. Final Group discussion6. Presentation7.Assessment


What is orientation?1. OrientationDuring this process you are made

aware of the Group 4 project – the process and the evaluation.

Yes its happening now!


What is the theme for 20thirteen?2. Theme:The theme for this year is:

Water


What is the theme for 2013?2. Theme:

Water is a very wide theme and your teacher will help you get directed

to a specific area.


What is Planning?3. Planning:1. The planning phase may involve a couple of sessions.2. Action plan must have - what is to be done? how is to be

done? Why is it to be done? AND Who has to do it? The progress must be recorded in a blog which should be accessible to the team members and the concern group teacher.3. The experiments must be clearly planned.4. Remember to video or photograph even the planning

session so that your final presentation shows all stages.


Experiment?4. Experimental work:Group 4 project has to be experimental in nature. It is important to bear in mind that all experiments

must be completed in about 3 cycles.For all experiments risk evaluation must be done given

to the Lab technicians before the experiment. The form is available on KISNET-Science.

All requisites for the experiments or any field trip plans MUST be given to Mrs. Ruby or Mr. Shereef by 28th February, 2013.


Whom should I ask for equipment?4. Experimental work:For Biology and Chemistry requirements: Ms. Ruby

For Physics & ICTrequirement: Mr. Shereef.


How do I go about?5. Final Group discussion:Group 4 project culminates with a final group

discussion. During this time findings of all members are put together. Each student develops a ‘research paper’ which is to

be turned in to your subject teacher.The photographs/video recordings are put

together to make the final presentation.


How do I go about?6. Presentation:The presentation should be of a maximum of 7

minutes. It may include a short speech, simulation, role play, a demo, video

clippings.The important issue is to convey your findings

clearly and effectively. NOT just loud music.Presentations decides awards.
