The following website is the official website for Georgia guidelines:
http://www.gcss.net/2008ssfairguide.pdf
The project itself is basically 2 things: 1) a research paper 2) a triboard
* The topic should be a question: ex: WHAT ARE THE SECRETS OF KING TUT'S TOMB?
* The research paper should be 3-4 typed pages (double spaced)
* A minimum of 3-4 sources should be used
* The tri-board has specific guidelines to be followed
* The tri-board should be neat, and appealing to the eye
* The classroom grade will be based on the rubric - - NOT the judge's score
Ideas for selecting a topic:
* Choose a topic that is of interest to you
* Do not choose a topic that is too broad, nor too limited
JUDGING:
PLEASE NOTE: 5th grade teachers make the final decision on the 8 projects that advance
to the district level, regardless of category
