Project

Note : this project seeks to evaluate your personal writing, quantitative, critical thinking, speaking etc. skills. It is therefore an individual effort. The parts where you can collaborate with your group partner are some parts of the Experimental component labeled “Teamwork.”

Title (add title in title case here)

Introduction

Background information; include science concepts related to the project. Include in-text citations in APA style (Author, Year) to support your statements.

Include some references to support your statements.

The Dallas College library can help you with this.

Materials needed

List the materials needed to do this project. For example, list of websites in APA style, other resources that are needed, etc. An example is:

Carbon Footprint Calculator (Environmental Protection Agency, 2016).

Procedure

Briefly describe the procedure for the project. This should give the newcomer a fairly good idea about how to do your project. Step by step instructions are easier for the newcomer to follow.

Results

Paste carbon footprint tables here.

Write a few words describing what the tables are in the table caption/legend.

For examples and explanations about captions, please see:

Clean Energy

If you have done this project before (in a previous physics course at Mountain View), then please write a couple of paragraphs on clean energy here. See page 1 of the “Instructions in Detail” document for more information.

Lifetime of CO2 in the Atmosphere

If you have done this project before (in a previous physics course at Mountain View), then add a paragraph here about how the lifetime of CO2 in the atmosphere can affect future generations. See page 7 of the “Instructions in Detail” document for more information.

Conclusion

A few words summarizing what you conclude from your project. What is the take-home message (the most important message) that the reader should get?

References

List your references here. Below, are examples of references listed in APA style. You will need to use your own references.

Teamwork

1. Communicate with your group partner about strategies and choices you can make towards a sustainable lifestyle.

Please enter your teamwork summary below. If you did not have a partner, then put “Worked alone” here and leave this section blank.

1. Group partner’s name:

2. What did you learn from this group partner about making sustainable lifestyle choices?

3. On a scale of 0 to 4 (0 being the least to 4 being the best), how would you rate this team member for the qualities listed below. Please use the attached file “AACU Rubric for Teamwork” for your evaluation. The point values are explained in detail in this rubric:

a) Involvement in team meetings, contribution to discussions.

b) Promotes or facilitates the contribution of team members. Encourages people who are not participating, to become involved.

c) Works independently on the project. Completes assignments on time. Helps others in the team complete their tasks on time.

d) Fosters a constructive team climate. Treats team members with respect. Uses positive language, tone, and attitude. Provides motivation and encouragement.

e) Responds to conflict. Helps manage and resolve conflict, to build cohesiveness and strength in the team.
