Science Fair Reflection & Feedback Log

The Science Fair Reflection & Feedback Log is a flexible workbook that will enhance the experience of students during their Science Fair presentations. The log is designed to empower students in grades 3 - 5 to document their journey on the day of the event by capturing photos of their project displays and moments with judges.

After presenting to judges, students can also record notes and any feedback, preserving all the details of their experience.

Judges can also use the log to input their comments and provide positive feedback on the students' project. Once the student has gathered photos, notes, and judges comments, the log can be exported into a PDF, which can be easily shared with parents.

The log can not only help students reflect on their achievements but also provides a lasting token of their success and experience of the Science Fair.

What a great resource! So often the presentation of the board is the "end" of the learning, with reflection and feedback left out of the process. This really makes it a more impactful and memorable learning experience.

I agree with Morgan that the feedback page is everything! I would take it further to suggest that more mature learners could then apply the feedback and rework their experiments - a REDESIGN phase. Even if they did actually do it, but rather had one more page that was "if I were to do this again; I would ....". Fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Science fair is a moment of such excitement and having such a tool will help the student to keep a better memory of the event and help them grow as scientist! Great tool!
