Purpose / Problem
What do you want to know?
Pose a question that is TESTABLE
![Page 5: Rivera Science Fair Friday, February 27 th 2009. Make sure your child follows the Scientific Method Demonstrations or displays will NOT be judged](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083005/56649f295503460f94c434c8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Hypothesis
• What do you think will happen and why?
This should be stated BEFORE you begin the experiment.

Materials
• What do you need to complete this experiment?
• What did you use to complete this experiment?
• List EVERYTHING!!

Procedure
• What steps will you follow to complete this experiment?
• List all your steps so that another person could repeat your experiment without your help.
• Test your hypothesis a minimum of three trials.

Data
• Collect data in a table or chart to show three or more trials.
• Make observations and collect appropriate data.
