Participating in the U.S. Regional Student Research Symposia? This Year’s Rubric Now Available Online – And Many More Resources Available!
The rubric that will be used for project review at the 2017 U.S. Regional Student Research Symposia (SRS) is now available online. The rubric is based on the GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium scoring rubric, with modifications for the poster/presentation style of the SRS.
The SRS, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, provides students from across the United States the opportunity to come together at one of six face-to-face regional science symposia to share the results of field investigations using GLOBE program protocols. (The grade spans for project review are: grades 5-8 and grades 9-12.)
If you are a reviewer for one of the regional science symposia, you can watch the reviewer webinar to learn more about the rubrics and the reviewing format for this year. Students will also be reviewing the projects of other students, and this peer-review rubric is also available online.
Do you have students working on science posters for the SRS? If so, watch the Putting it all Together: The Science Fair Poster webinar. Additional teacher resources are also available – just click here for more information.
Leading up to the science symposia, GLOBE teachers can view archived webinars, teacher blogs, and participate in open office hours. For more information on the timeline, registration, deadlines, and updates, please view our calendar.
