What is the Group 4 Project?
• Group 4 subjects (the sciences) base understanding on experiment – emphasis of this project is on the process of a scientific investigation
• Emphasis is on interdisciplinary cooperation and collaboration – each discipline brings a special perspective and expertise to the group
• Sole IB assessment of Personal Skills

IB Group 4 Requirements(the “why” you are doing this)
• Demonstrate ICT (Information and Communication and Technology) skills
• Address moral, ethical, social, economic, and environmental implications of using science and technology
• Show how the different disciplines all relate to a single scientific issue
• Show you can use the processes of the scientific method

That being said…this year we are trying
something New and Different…

Final Products•How it worksModel and/or powerpoint on how the sense works including aspects from physics, chemistry, and biology
•Hands-On Activities and Competions 3-5 (or more) events for others to do at the symposium
•Powerpoint documentation of your projectModels, Hands-On Activities, Competitions, etc. will be presented in an after-school Science Fair Symposium on Feb 26, 2014
![Page 10: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Time Line•Planning Stage – 2 hrsJan 14: Informational MeetingAfter selecting a focused topic, the activities to be carried out must be clearly defined before moving to action phase
•Action Stage – 5 hrs (Jan 16-Feb 19)•Evaluation Stage – 3 hrsFeb 19: Group MeetingScience Fair Symposium on Feb 26, 2014 Models, Hands-On Activities, Competitions
![Page 11: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Planning Stage• First Meeting • Teachers divide students into groups• Teachers supply topic – Exploring the Senses• Student groups will choose a sense (no more
than two groups to a single sense)• Groups should choose a group leader and
recorder. Keep a record of what each person did and how well group members interacted.
• Groups should begin to develop an action plan of who will do what, by when, and with what help, and brainstorm possible activities and competitions
![Page 12: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Planning Stage – Action Plan
Second Meeting – On your own • Brainstorm on how your group will
present “How the sense works” and what are the aspects for biology, chemistry, and physics.
• Brainstorm on possible activities and how the activities might be made into exciting, hands-on participatory competitions
• Who will do what? By when? With what help?
![Page 13: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Action Stage• Carry out action plan• Each group will prepare a physical model
and/or slide show presentation that describes the physics, chemistry, and biology of their topic and explain how it works.
• Each group will investigate, test, and prepare 3-5 (or more) hands-on activities or competitions for other students to actually do, that show various facets of the sense
• Powerpoint documentation of project
![Page 14: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Evaluation• Powerpoint presentation and/or model of how
the sense works. Is this description well-presented? Is it clear and informative? Does it address aspects from physics,
chemistry, and biology?• At symposium, present power-point and model
along with graphics describing activities and conduct activities and competitionsAre the activities fun, informative, age-group
appropriate?• Powerpoint documentation of project• Load powerpoints onto Group 4 website

How did you specifically use ICT (information,
communication, technology)?
• Data bases• Communication with experts• Data logging• Spreadsheets• Graphs and graphing software• Digital images or video• Presentation software

Teachers are randomly choosing teams this year.
This is to ensure that each group has someone from each discipline and
to better assess teamwork skills.

Personal Skills
![Page 27: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Personal Skills• Approach a project with self-
motivation and follow it through to completion
• Ability to work with others in a group situation and integrate the views of others
• Show awareness of your own strengths and weaknesses and learn about yourself from this experience
![Page 28: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Self-motivation and follow-through to completion
• You are expected to get your assigned tasks done “yesterday”
• Non-completion reflects poorly on the entire group
• One person or a subset of the group doing most, if not all, of the work reflects poorly on the entire group
![Page 29: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Work with others in a group situation and integrate the
views of others
• You MUST demonstrate that you can work in a team situation
• Collaboration with input from all disciplines is a key success factor
• You MUST show consideration from all disciplines
![Page 30: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Self-reflection of your own strengths and weaknesses and how you put yourself
outside your comfort zone
• This project is designed to be a learning experience
• You are expected to tackle some personal weakness
![Page 31: Group 4 Project](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020721/56815143550346895dbf6272/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Personal Skills - Documentation
• Each participant is required to hand in a confidential paper with documentation of specific examples on how you personally met or did not meet these personal skills goals
