STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM• Type your question here. (This is the

question that your experiment answers.)

RESEARCH• Summarize your research here in three to five significant

facts:– 1st point– 2nd point– 3rd point– 4th point– 5th point

• Citations (your sources of where you found the information)Include Author, Title of the work, Year published, and page #– 1st source– 2nd source

HYPOTHESIS• Based on the research you have done,

you will be writing an answer or solution – your best educated guess – to your question. Always write down your hypothesis before you begin your experiment.

• Use If (know) then (expect) because (connection to research) format.

PROCEDURE: MATERIALS• Type a detailed list of the items you

needed to complete your experiments. Be specific about the amounts used.

PROCEDURE: STEPS• List all of the steps used in completing

your experiment.• Remember to number your steps.• Extra: Add photos of your experiments.

VARIABLES• Constants: These are the things that are kept

the same throughout your experiment. • Controlled variables: What you compare your

final results to.• Independent (manipulated) variable: The one

variable that you purposely change and test.• Dependent (measured) variable: The measure

of change observed because of the independent variable. It is important to decide how you are going to measure the change.

DATA/OBSERVATIONS• Write in declarative sentences what

actually happened.

DATA/OBSERVATIONS• It is easier to understand the data if it is

put into a table or graph..• Make sure all data and units are clearly

labeled.

DATA/OBSERVATIONS• Photos/illustrations are also very useful

CONCLUSIONType a brief summary here of what you discovered based on the results of your experiments. You need to:• 1) answer the question posed in the

problem and • 2) indicate whether or not the data

supports the hypothesis and explain why or why not.
