Choosing a Topic
• Brainstorm a list of ideas • Choose a topic that is interesting to you• Think about an invention that already exists and how you could make it better or a part of it you could improve

Questions to help me choose a topic?
What are my interests? What would I like to learn
about? Do I have a question about
something? Where can I look for topics?

Research Your Problem
![Page 5: THINK Like an Inventor Young Inventor’s Fair Choosing a Topic Brainstorm a list of ideas Choose a topic that is interesting to you Think about an invention](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032708/56649e695503460f94b65a5b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Use GUIDING Questions to Help with Your Research

Use Scientific Process to TEST the Invention/Innovation

Stating My Problem or Need
After choosing a topic, what do you want to find out or develop
Examples:– How can I change the wheels on
my skateboard to help create a smoother ride?
– People spend too much money on different types of shoes. How can I create a shoe to solve this problem?

Stating My Hypothesis
This needs to be written in an if….then…statement
Examples:– If a skateboard with wheels that absorbed
vibrations was created, then the ride will be smoother
– If a 4 sport shoe was created, then people would not have to spend the money on multiple pairs.

Testing Procedure
Step by step directions
1. Gather all materials2. Set up materials to test3. Test at least 5 or more
times4. Record your data on a
table5. Graph results.

Variables
Independent- ONE thing you change in test.
Ex. Shape of bladeDependent- How you measured?
Ex. Amount of revolutions
Constants- EVERYTHING you kept the same! Ex. Fan, cardstock, materials

Abstract and Conclusion This is a summary of your
experiment. What did you learn from the
experiment?
Did you prove your hypothesis? Why-why not?
What problems did you have?
How is it applicable to real life?
What can the results be used for?
How can I use the knowledge I have gained from the experiment?
What would you do differently next time?
