Presentation Hint: Always use clear fonts, with dark colors and backgrounds with light colors to make reading at a distance easy.

Statement of Purpose

Include a description of your topic and any important definitions needed to understand your research.◦ Examples: urban runoff, wattage, green roof,

pollution

Definitions/Description

Disadvantages vs. advantages Benefits vs. drawbacks Pros vs. cons Etc.

Presentation Hint: When using images, make sure it’s relevant to your topic and that you cite where it came from.

After the experiment is over, use this slide to summarize patterns in your data or any conclusions you came to while reviewing data.

◦ Patterns of consistent numbers.◦ Explain highs and lows.◦ Relate to purpose.

Data Analysis

◦ Green roof groups- Remember to say we shut the lights off after 15 minutes and why you think the green roof continued to go up for a little while.

◦ Runoff groups– Mention the rate of the poured water and how it relates to percentage absorbed. Ex. Did the absorption rate increase or decrease with the rate?

◦ Light bulb groups – Be sure to mention the efficiency of a bulb is related to how much energy it uses (watts) vs. how much heat it puts out. Ex. The higher the temperature measured and watts used, the less efficient it is. Which one is the best, which is the worst? How much money will you save using it?

Data Analysis continued

Summarize the entire project and wrap-up…

Restatement of purpose.

Review the main economic and environmental benefits of your proposal. Use examples with numbers. Such as: “If we made this switch, we would save 40% in energy costs and it would pay for itself within a year!”

Thank whomever it was you were addressing.

Conclusion

On this slide, type your 3 questions following these guidelines:

Avoid long complicated questions or questions that can be answered with an opinion.

NOT(Do you feel green roofs are worth the initial investment?)

Questions should have only one part.NOT (List the highest percentage of water absorbed by

each sample and why you think that happened.)

Make it clear as to where the answer can be found and relevant to the project.

NOT(How many images are on our presentations?)
