Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
Hanover
\nHigh School’s Science Fair is scheduled for Thursday, February 3,
\n2011. More than 125 HHS students will conduct research this fall and
\npresent their findings at the science fair. Judging is a critical element
\nof a science fair and we can only advance our top 15 projects to regional
\ncompetition if we have enough independent judges to participate in our
\nfair. Please consider volunteering as a judge. A general
\ndescription of what a judge is expected to do is shown below.<\/p>\n
A judge should have some background in a science
\n related field (such as science, engineering, technology,
\n architecture, math, programming, manufacturing, or health or medicine)
\n Judges spend ten to fifteen minutes with an
\n individual student. The judge listens to the student present his or her
\n research and conclusions, and then the judge may ask the student
\n questions.
\n There is a simple scoring rubric that leads the
\n judge through a scoring of 1-10 on 5 different criteria (based on the
\n state guidelines)
\n Judges are usually assigned to 5 projects related
\n to the content area chosen by the judge
\n Each project is judged by 3 separate judges (your
\n score is only one of 3 required scores for a project)
\n The overall time commitment is typically less
\n than 2 hours and must be between 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the day of the
\n fair (February 3rd, 2011)
\n Parents CAN BE judges – parents are not
\n assigned to their own child. Projects with any conflict of interest
\n will be avoided.<\/p>\n
Please
\nconsider supporting our fair by being a judge. The students need the
\nopportunity to be judged so that our fair will qualify to advance our top 15
\nprojects to regional competition. Click
\nhere to fill out the form to become a judge (takes less than 2 minutes to
\ncomplete the form). (If link does not work the website to paste into your
