 D) preparation of report and presentation * brief report about information about how work done and findings * not more than few pages * not technical but write up E) Evaluation * work of each team * evidence adequate and valid solution arrived * provide feedback
GROUP PROJECTS  Broader concept of investigation  Examples- presentations of models of different types of houses in particular region of country  Models of hydro electric power generators  Models of different types of dams  GROUP PROJECTS means a planned set of activities which are undertaken by a group of students with defined object and which results in a finished product or practical accomplishment
STEPS a) Formation of groups- class into 5-7 student groups(heterogeneous) b) Proposing- what is done, objective stated, take guidance c) Planning – various means selected, action plan chalked out, activities identified and work allotted d) Implementing- by members acc to plan, encouraged to discuss and help each other, come out with finished product e) Evaluation- on basis of objectives, how closely and cooperatively group worked, arrange exhibition of products, invite 1 or 2 teachers to judge.
