  1. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 15 • What will YOUR DATA TABLE look like? • Draw it now, show Mrs. Gall, any science teacher, or a friend or adult. • Did you miss any important information? • Are you gathering unnecessary information?

  2. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 16 • You’ll get your TEN POINTS for note-taking on page 16 if you draw a sample data table for your experiment.

  3. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 17 • What types of evidence, artifacts, and photos can you collect during your experiment? • If you have a digital camera, take several photos of the setup, progress, and finished experiment (if not borrow one!) • If you can save parts of the setup or any resulting evidence from the experiment (painted tiles after bleaching, magnifying glass on a stand, for example) do save these! Store safely at home or in Mrs. Gall’s classroom with permission.

  4. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 18 • What type of GRAPH is best suited to your data? • Bar graph (comparisons) • Line graph (changes over time) • Circle chart (percentages)

  5. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 19 • Your RESULTS are your data table (s), graph (s), and a written description of the data collected. • The written RESULTS will be written in full sentences, with correct grammar and spelling. • The RESULTS will describe all of the data collected, using words instead of list or chart.

  6. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 20 • Your CONCLUSION tells: • Was your hypothesis proven correct, or was it refuted? • How did the data support or refute the hypothesis? • ANALYSIS (how the data was used, what errors occurred, etc) • APPLICATIONS (what you learned, how the information is useful, etc.)

  7. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 21 • ANALYSIS (how the data was used, what errors occurred, etc) • Why did you feel that the data you collected was appropriate? • Was there data you did not collect because of limited funds or equipment? • What extra data would have been useful?

  8. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 22 • ANALYSIS (how the data was used, what errors occurred, etc) • What parts of the procedure did you modify and why? • How would you do the experiment differently to minimize error and improve quality? • What errors were made, were they significant, and how can they be avoided?

  9. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 23 • APPLICATIONS (what you learned, how the information is useful, etc.) • What was the general subject area you learned about (use the textbook for ideas)? • What are related topics? • Why is the topic meaningful to you? • What ideas, inventions, news stories, or other applications are there for the results of your experiment, in reality or possibilities?

  10. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 24 • SOURCES • You already gave three or more sources that you’ve used. • One was a book (textbook?) • List the sources in MLA format (ask Ms. Wey or use the internet) at the end of your science fair project report.

  11. 12/2 Science Fair Notes page 25 • Bonus! • Draw a smiley face for a 10 point bonus at the end of these notes, • 250 points total possible. • Best of Luck on your project! See me (1st hour prep, A lunch, after school, email appleforteacher@hotmail.com) for assistance and support.
