Phosphates in the Bay Project Class: 1A Date: 1/23/18

Peer Outreach Evaluation Rubric

Review your partner group’s outreach program proposal, then answer the following and give
to them digitally so they can post it on their website. You may download a digital copy from
SRHSchem.

1. Will the project address a real need related to reducing nutrient pollution in the Bay? If
so, how?
The group will organized and attended a meeting for their community addressing
issue of phosphate runoff from fertilizers, and ways to combat it and hopefully
decrease our runoff by 50%.

2. Does the project involve members of the community beyond the students in the group?
If so, who? How many people?
This project needs members of the community 48 of them to change to fertilizer free
chemicals in their yards.

3. Is the project feasible in the given amount of time?

I do not believe so, although they said they had 46 out of 48 people use organic and
phosphate free chemicals.
4. How could the group scale up the project to make its scope bigger? How could they
scale down if they run short on time?
5. They could go door to door and ask people directly instead of taking time to make a
large gathering. The increase this to a bigger scope they could make a instructional
video to send to a large amount of people why and how to use phosphate free products.

6. How will the group evaluate the success of the project? Is this method appropriate for
the goals of the project? How? The group will ask the people at the gathering if they
started using phosphate free supplies, the method use not appropriate for the goal
however because having only 46 people not use fertilizer wont decrease runoff by 50%.

7. Review the Outreach and Presentation Rubric.

a. What format should the group use to present their work, so that others
understand the impact the group had?
They should use a website, with different pages covering different topics like
planning, gathering and people using phosphate free chemicals

b. Where is the group likely to lose points? How can they improve this?
They have a unrealistic goal , they should make a more realistic goal, like having 50
people use phosphate free chemicals in their yards.
