3. Scientific Method of Investigation • Problem/Research Question - 1 - 2
sentences • Hypothesis - 1 - 2 sentences • Variables - list independent
variable, dependent variable, controlled variables (constants)
• Equipment & Materials - list • Procedure - numbered list
![Page 10: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Variables •It is important for an experiment to be a fair test.
•You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.
![Page 11: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Independent Variable
•One thing that you changed in your experiment.
•If you are testing the growth of plants in different light levels, the independent variable is the amount of light each group of plants receives.
![Page 12: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dependent Variable
•Quantity that you are measuring in your experiment
•If you are testing the growth of plants in different light levels, the dependent variable might be the height of the plants grown in different light levels.
![Page 13: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Controlled variables
•Variables that were held constant for all groups.
•If you are testing the growth of plants in different light levels, the controlled variable might be the type of plants, the pot size, the amount of dirt and the amount of water.

4.Raw Data, Observations - use tables, notes, etc., to record your experimental results
![Page 15: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
5.Findings & Interpretations
• Interpret your results.• What do they say?
![Page 16: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
6. Conclusions & Recommendations
• State whether or not your hypothesis was correct and why.
• Make recommendations for improving your project & for further study.

Science Fair Project Requirements:
•The purpose of the display is to show what you have done.
•The exhibit should be visually appealing, using color and photos to show the work you have done.
•Photographs that are dated and labeled are useful to relay the progress of the experiment, and/or the outcome of the experiment.

The objective of a display board is to present the main
areas and conclusions of your project so that
others can easily understand what you
accomplished.
![Page 19: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Think of the display board as a commercial for your
project.

TitleThe title of your project. Your name.
Data and Graphics Present any significant data, graphs, and pictures in this section. Visual representations of your results, if done effectively, are worth thousands of words.
![Page 21: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Problem/ PurposeState the problem that you were originally concerned with and explain why you selected the topic you did?
HypothesisState your hypothesis as an if/then statement.
![Page 22: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

![Page 23: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ConclusionsWas your hypothesis right or wrong? Can you make a new statement that you know to be true based on your research?
RecommendationsFrom everything you learned would you make any recommendations for further research? Write your ideas for research in this section.
![Page 24: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• brief overview of your project work
• include the title, your name, and brief summaries of the problem, hypothesis, procedures, data and conclusions
• no more than one typed page with 1 - 2 paragraphs
![Page 25: Science Fair powerpoint 2011](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061119/546a7581af79597f788b60ac/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Did you create any models or experimental setups that are important in explaining your work?
• 3-D objects and pictures are often more effective than words at communicating complex ideas.
