Science Fair Project Type your project title here Your name Your teacher’s name Your school
Purpose This is the question that your experimentwill answer. How does _________________ affect _____________________?
Variables • Independent variable: The one variable that you purposely change and test. • Independent variable: • Dependent variable: The measure of change observed because of the independent variable. It is important to decide how you are going to measure the change. • Dependent variable:
Background Information Type your 5 facts here in a paragraph. Add a few more sentences, if you want.
Hypothesis Based on the research you have done, you will be predicting the outcome of your experiment– your best educated guess . If Then Because .
Materials • Type a detailed list of the items you needed to complete your experiments. • Be specific about the amounts usedand sizes. • Materials:
Procedure • List all of the steps used in completing your experiment. • Remember to number your steps. • Remember to include multiple trials (repeat 2x, etc.) • Add photos of your experiments. • Procedure: • _____________________________________________ • ______________________________________________ • _______________________________________________ • _______________________________________________ • ________________________________________________ • ________________________________________________ • ________________________________________________ • ________________________________________________
Control Setup & Constant Variables • Identify your Control setup- the part of your experiment that does not Include the independent variable. Or – “normal conditions” My Control Setup is_____________________________________________ • Controlled or constant variables: These are the things that are kept the same throughout your experiments. • Controlled variables:
Data Table & Observations • It is easier to understand the data if it is put into a table or graph. • Modify the table below for your experimental set-up. • Put the independent and dependent variables in the correct boxes. • Make sure to include units (at least for dependent variable). • You can have more or less rows or columns.
Graph • It is easier to analyze and look for patterns in the data if it is put into a graph. • Make a graph with “Create a Graph” or Microsoft Excel and paste or import it here. • Make sure the graph has: a Title, X and Y axes are labeled, and units are included.
Conclusion Type a brief summary here of what you discovered based on the results of your experiments. Include answers to the following questions: • According to my data, _______does/does not affect_________. • My hypothesis is/is not supported by my data. (ok if it doesn’t) • A brief summary of data (Averages only)
Possible Errors & Further Testing • Describe one or more possible sources of error or variables that were not controlled in your experiment. • OR Suggest ways to improve the experiment. • Propose at least one idea for an additional study related to the first (cannot be about a totally different subject).
