    This document outlines the requirements for a student-directed study project in a Physical Science course. Students can work individually or in groups of up to 3 people to investigate a topic of their choosing related to physical science. They must write a proposal identifying the problem, materials, procedures, and data analysis plan. Throughout the project, students should keep a portfolio documenting their experimentation process. Finally, students will write a lab report and present their findings and conclusions to the class within a 5-minute time limit.

    PSC20

    Student-Directed Study (SDS1)


    Your goal for this outcome is to choose a topic that is related to Physical Science and
    to design an investigation to further explore your topic. You are able to work
    individually or in groups up to maximum of 3.
    Part A
    Choose a topic related to PSC20.
    o Hint this becomes a much better project if you choose a topic that
    interests you.
    Decide on a problem that you would like to investigate. If you choose a
    problem where the answer is obvious, your topic may not be approved or
    your project will be marked more critically. You also need to choose a
    problem that will allow you to work safely. If you are uncertain, talk to your
    instructor and ask for advice.
    Once you have decided on a topic, you need to plan for your experimentation.
    This means that you should have a list of materials and a procedure that you
    will be able to share with your instructor.
    Once all of the above has been planned, you (and your group) are required to
    write a proposal. In your proposal you should identify what problem you
    would like to test, how you will go about testing, what materials you will
    require, and how your data will be analyzed.
    Your proposal is due: Friday, November 7th
    Part B
    Begin testing early and often! The more experimentation you can do, the
    better! Every time that you do any research, test, alteration, keep record of
    this. You are required to provide a portfolio that outlines everything that you
    have done. This will provide anecdotal evidence that a proper investigation
    has been done. It is ok to take pictures of every step along the way to make
    things easier for yourself.
    Part C
    Share the results of your investigation with your instructor.
    You will need to hand in a typewritten lab report that outlines your problem,
    hypothesis, materials, procedure, observations/data, and a detailed
    conclusion. Your portfolio should also be included as part of this lab report.
    The lab report is due: Monday, December 8th
    Part D
    Share the results of your investigation with the class.
    Your findings should be shared with the class in a 5-minute block of time.
    You can do this in several different ways such as: a display, presentation,
    demonstration, video, or any other method that you clear with your
    instructor.
    Keep in mind that 5 minutes is not very long! Plan your presentation well so
    that you can stick to this time.
    This portion is due: Monday, December 15th
