Project Work

Project record and viva conducted on the chosen project has been an integral part of Practical assessment. Five marks are alloted for assessing project record and viva.

Investigatory projects are meant to draw passion in biology by allowing the students to work on interested knowledge. It is a type of experiment oriented project performed with a scientific temperament by the students themselves.

Following are few tips for successful completion of the project;

1. Selection of topic:You need to read, discuss about different chapters of your NCERT text book and laboratory manual, scientific literature, magazines, newspapers, and have to google on internet for finalising your interested topic. Then, shorten the finalised title of your project.
2. Planning of the project:Collect all the related data related to your topic. Prepare a rough outline of the experimental work for your project and plan it carefully.
3. Experimentation for the project:Conduct the experimental work with precision in such a way that you will get correct results.
4. Preparing your project file/record:
   Before proceeding with the experimental part of the investigatory project, you should have done proper literature research. These literatures should be recorded by citing the correct references. All of your collected knowledge should be recorded in your project file. Meanwhile, during the experimental course or after interpreting your result you should record and rewrite your result properly.

Things to remember

1. Data collected should be devoid of plagiarism. Record your collected data by citing the references.
2. Repeat your experiment several times and take average of the results obtained for the conducted experiments.
3. Compare your results with the published sources of literature.
4. Discuss your results with reference to available literature and draw out meaningful conclusion.
5. Use histograms, graphs, photographs, tables, diagrams or models to support your observations and result.
6. Provide correct citation of all the referred literatures.
7. Acknowledge all the people who helped you in the course of doing the project.
