An individual written science item in which students at High School and Higher Secondary write a science essay, scored out of 100 on content, data arrangement, language, layout and interaction.
C V Raman Essay Writing is the written strand of the science fair. A student writes an essay on a scientific theme, using accurate content, organised data and clear language. The item takes its name from the Indian physicist C V Raman.
In the Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Science Fair it is an individual item at High School (classes 8-10) and Higher Secondary/VHSE (classes 11-12), open to girls and boys, in the Written category.
The marking is weighted toward science. Half the marks go to scientific content; the rest are split between arrangement of data, language and style, layout (introduction, subtitles, references) and interaction. A well-structured essay with accurate facts and a clear argument does better than a fluent one with weak science.
Because it is a written item, the winning habit is practice: reading widely, planning an outline and learning to cite sources properly.
