Categories of Projects

There are three categories of projects:

1. Collection with classification (NOT recommended for 4^th/5^th graders) – a collection with classification is a collection of items which are sorted/grouped by common characteristics.
   
   
2. Experiment – an experiment follows the scientific method. It clearly asks a question to which you do not already know the answer without testing.
   
   
3. Demonstration, Model or Display – a demonstration, model or display is an explanation of how or why something works. It reveals details about the topic. An exhibit is an explanation, not a question.
