  1. Is it a testable question? • Is there an independent and • dependent variable present? • Are any measurements stated in metric form? • 3 POSSIBLE outcomes – 3 different outcomes • increase, decrease, no affect • Circle/designate the one that you feel will be the • outcome

  2. The ONE thing that is being changed • Why do we only change ONE thing? • What is a control group and what is the importance of having one? • What is being measured – the data that is being collected • What do you need to consider when • collecting data? (Clue: Accuracy)

  3. What must remain constant • (everything but the independent variable) • Consider when setting up and conducting the trials • Why is it important to make sure to keep the • set-up conditions constant? Under normal conditions Control groups are used as a benchmark to compare the other tested groups.

  4. Written in a list format • Includes details such as quantity, size, type, shape, etc. • Use metric measurements at all times • Complete list – to set up and to preform task • Why is it important to have a complete and detailed list of • materials? Why do we always use metric measurements in science? • A numbered and detailed list of what needs to be done to set up and conduct the investigation • Why is it important to list detailed step-by-step directions for an experiment?

  5. A minimum of ten trials should be conducted for each of the groups, one being the control group. • Why is it important to do a minimum of 10 trials in an investigation? • A picture representation of your data • Only graph the averages of the data sets • Make sure to: • Include a title • Label the x and y axis • Label the increments (y axis) and specific data sets (x axis) • Plot your data accurately and neatly

  6. An explanation of your data using • mathematical language • How are results and explanations sections different? • A reflection of how your investigation went • What would you do differently to insure more accurate data? • How could you extent your investigation? What other • variables could you test? • Was your designated prediction correct? Why/why not?

  7. A list of THREE possible uses for this new information • How are your results useful to someone? • Who would be interested in your results? • Think in the real world.
