Adding a new slide

that can be found by conducting an experiment• Save as... (Multimedia 01) in your Multimedia

folder

Next four slides

Hypothesis

• A testable explanation that answers your question

Prediction

• If your hypothesis is true, what will happen when you perform your experiment?

Testing

• List the materials you use and the steps for the experiment.

• Show the data you collect.

Results

• What happened when you performed your experiment?

Working with fonts

Text to add

• Do the same as you just did, only adding the following text:

• Slide 3: I know that salt is used to melt ice and I think that sand is used for the same reason.

• Slide 4: If my hypothesis is true, an ice cube with sand on it will melt faster than a bare ice cube

More text to add• Slide 5: – Materials: ice cubes, sand, watch– Steps: I sprinkled sand on one ice cube and left the

other bare. I timed how long it took for each cube to melt

– Data: Each ice cube took one hour to melt.• Slide 6:– My hypothesis was wrong, because the sanded ice

didn’t melt faster. They must use sand for a different reason.
