  1. How to Write a Science Project Report

  2. Problem • The problem is the scientific question to be solved. It is best expressed as an "open-ended" question, which is a question that is answered with a statement, not just a yes or a no. • For example, "How does light affect the reproduction of bread mold on white bread?"

  3. Hypothesis • A hypothesis is an idea about the solution to a problem, based on knowledge and research. • The hypothesis should make a claim about how two factors relate. • "I believe that bread mold does not need light for reproduction on white bread. I base my hypothesis on these facts:

  4. Variables • The independent variable is the variable you purposely manipulate (change). The independent variable for the experiment is light. • variables that are not changed are called controlled variables. • The other variables for the experimental and control setup, such as the environmental conditions for the room where the boxes are placed—temperature and humidity—and the brand of the breads used must be kept the same.

  5. Materials • Numbered list of materials needed. Be specific – put amounts and details!

  6. Directions • The directions section contains the steps needed to complete the experiment, as described in the scientific method. • Be very specific so that someone could follow your directions and get the same result that you did.

  7. Conclusion • The project conclusion is a summary of the results of the project experimentation and a statement of how the results relate to the hypothesis. • If the project doesn’t turn out as you expected don’t leave anything out. State that your hypothesis was incorrect. • If the project turns out as you expected then state that as well.

  8. Results • Before you can state the results of an experiment, you must first organize all the data collected during experimentation. • Data from each experiment needs to be written down in an orderly way in your journal. Use a table to record data. Use a graph, such as a bar graph or a line graph to analyze data.
