Since you want to draw the attention of the spectators and judges, make it easy for them to
access your project and the results you have obtained.
The following should be the elements of the Project display:
1. Display: - Make the most of your space using a clear and concise display.
2. A Good Title: - Your title should be simple and must accurately represent your research.
3. Eye-Catching Display: - Make sure your display stands out. Use neat, Colourful
headings, charts and graphs to present your project.
4. Correctly Presented and Well-constructed: - Planning, Organising and presenting
concepts relevant to the theme.
Method of Writing the Investigatory Project:

Tips on Writing a Synopsis
A synopsis gives the essence of the project in brief. Ideally, a synopsis should not exceed 250
words. Judges and other viewers should have a fairly accurate idea of the project from reading the
synopsis. The synopsis must focus on the current year’s research and give only minimal reference
to previous work as applicable.
The following should be elementary in your synopsis:
1. Purpose of the experiment:
(a) An introductory statement of the reason for investigating the topic of the project.
(b) A statement of the problem and/or the hypothesis being studied.
2. Procedure Used:
(a) Summary of the key points and an overview of how the investigation was conducted.
(b) A synopsis should only include procedures done by students. Work done by a mentor
or work done prior to student involvement must not be included.
3. Data:
(a) This section provides a key result that leads directly to the conclusions you have drawn.
(b) It should not give too many details about the result nor include tables or graphs.
4. Conclusions:
(a) Conclusions from the investigation should be described briefly.
(b) The summary paragraph reflects on the process and possibly states some applications and
extensions of the investigation.
Note: - Students have to write a synopsis before taking approval.
Way to form Teams: Students must form teams within their standards (irrespective of their
sections).

COURSE OUTLINE
INTRODUCTION
Social Science is the scientific study of human society and social relationships among the
people. It is in the broadest sense, the study of society and the manner in which people behave
