Day 4: Synthesis and Presentation
STEP 1: Today is your chance to finish your Day 3 investigation using the Foldscope. Make sure you’ve answered your question, recorded your observations, and created your image or drawing. If you finish early and you’re still curious, feel free to do another quick experiment! Choose a new question or sample and follow the same steps.
This is also your time to gather all your images and notes and get them ready to share. Pay close attention to your final upload—it’s your chance to show off what you explored, discovered, and created.
STEP 2: Use the link below to open and complete your Google Slides presentation. This is your chance to show what you’ve explored, created, and discovered over the past 3 days. Click here to access the template. Feel free to edit the slides to your liking, adding or deleting any portions so that you meet the below requirements.
You’ll be working on your presentation with the same partner or team you’ve been working with. If you’ve been working individually, you’ll complete your slides on your own.
Be sure to finish your slides and prepare to share your presentation in class tomorrow with your teacher. See the guide below:
