When completing a project record for a project carried over from another organization (i.e. a school art project or the Supreme Beef program), the documentation from that organization may fit the criteria for a 4-H project record, and many people choose to submit that documentation as their section 1.
This is acceptable, but the record book committee asks that you respect the judges' time by using the 4-H project record template, and not including extranneous information.
<th><ahref="#sizeandscope">Size and Scope</a></th>
<tdcolspan="3">Includes quantitative information pertaining to the materials and time required to complete the project. Financial Information and Market Summary sub-sections should be filled out if applicable to the project.</td>
If you followed the instructions, you will probably find that you have already made significant progress toward those four or five items you wanted to accomplish
If so, then take this opportunity to solidify your broad objectives into <strong>GOALS</strong>.

The label "Size & Scope" has caused confusion for several generations of 4-Hers.
Let's define these words to clear that up.
</p>
<dlclass="dl-horizontal">
<dt>Size</dt>
<dd>is numbers, i.e. the number of hours spent, dollars invested, contest points earned, pounds of feed, etc.</dd>
<dt>Scope</dt>
<dd>indicates the varieties, different types, recipes, plants or animal breeds with which you worked.</dd>
</dl>
<p>
In short, Size & Scope is a <abbrtitle="A detailed description including numbers of all substances used. Also the name of a class I'm glad I didn't have to take in college.">quantitative analysis</abbr> of everything you used to complete your project.
Good Size & Scope sections vary widely depending on the project, but all of them record the items (physical or intellectual) used in the project, and the time and money spent on the project.
Take a look at the examples for ideas to get you started.

<strong>Financial Information</strong> and <strong>Market Summary</strong> tables are provided under Size & Scope.
They are not intended to serve as a full Size & Scope, but they may be useful to augment your existing data.
Use them if you think they are appropriate to your project.

Knowledge & Skills Acquired
</h2>
<blockquote>
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Knowledge & Skills Acquired serves two purposes.
First, it allows you to address whether or not you met your goals.
Second, it tells readers what you actually learned this year in your project.
</p>
<p>
To complete Knowledge & Skills, create a heading for each <ahref="#goals">goal</a> you wrote.
Write a paragraph (at least three sentences) explaining if you met the goal, how you met the goal (or why you did not meet the goal), and what you learned from the goal.
After each goal is addressed, include paragraphs explaining anything else you learned about your project area.
Remember that your readers might not know anything about your project area, so be sure to explain it in a way that a layperson can understand.
