Presentation Tips

Hey Guys!

Here's a quick reminder of some tips for your Pyramid Presentations.

For ALL presentations:

• can you use visual aids -- pictures, power point, or video?
• can you include a demonstration or samples?
• We'd love your presentation to be about 10-15 minutes.
• can you include an activity or game?
• can you dress up as your scientist or mathematician?

If you're doing a Mathematician or Scientist:

• When/where were they born?
• What was their life like?
• What is their story?  Why are they famous?
• How did they show the Habits/Characteristics of a scientist?
• How did they impact the world?

If you're doing an invention:

• When was it invented?
• What led up to it being invented?
• Who invented it?
• Why did they invent it?
• How has this invention impacted the world?
• How did the inventor(s) exhibit the Habits/Characteristics of a Scientist?

Habits/Characteristics of a Scientist:

• Notice Patterns
• I Wonder
• Challenge Assumptions
• Ask the Right Question
• The Heart of a Scientist
• Embrace Failure
• Read Original Works
• Whole Not Specialized
• Judging

Hope this helps!
