If working with a partner . . .

• 3 feasibility ideas per person.– (Same topic, but each has own variable testing.)

• Remember, individual grades for partner projects. (Each does own paper, data, etc.)

• Each will be interviewed separately.• Each will have a log book. • Parents will still “sign off” on any portion

completed in that parents’ presence.
