  6. HypothesisWrite a hypothesis about how you think this change will help your environment and your ecological issue. Sample: Most commonly, hypotheses take three formats: a question, "Does temperature affect fermentation?" a conditional statement, "Temperature may affect fermentation." an If, then statement, "If fermentation rate is related to temperature, then increasing the temperature will increase gas production.

  7. ExperimentDesign an experiment to test your hypothesis 1. turn things off when leaving a room2. Investigate your topic-conduct background research. 3. Identify the problem -figure out what you want to know or explain. 4. Form a hypothesis. 5. Create an experiment-determine how you will find data to learn what you want to know or explain. 6. Perform the experiment-collect data about your topic. 7. Write your report-give a review of your entire process from your background research to your experimental results. 8. Make a Web 2.0 Presentation regarding your hypothesis, research, experiment, data and conclusion.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/3100043
