    1. Science Fair By Ms. Enriquez

    2. Guidelines All projects must use the Scientific Method with each part labeled. All must be experiments - not models or demonstrations. All must be presented on a tri-fold free standing board.

    3. Scientific Method Identify & explain problem Information and justification State your Hypothesis Experiment with control and variable Conclusion Retest and identify areas for further study

    4. Identify the Problem Ask a “why” or “how” question. Think about what you really need to know By Ms. Enriquez By Ms. Enriquez

    5. Research information and Justify Look for information related to the problem or topic. One or two paragraphs should give background information about your topic Justify the work you are about to do and tell WHY this is important to know.

    6. State your Hypothesis Make a statement about how your think your experiment will work out.

    7. Experiment Design a test for your problem Gather data and put it in a graph or diagram The experiment must have a variable, control and experiment group/trial. All must be clearly identified and explained.

    8. Experiment: variable A variable is the part of the experiment you are changing or testing Test only ONE variable at a time Clearly identify your variables and explain what you expect

    9. Experiment – Control This represents your starting point or what happens if you do nothing. This is what you will compare your testing results to. If you do not do a control, then you have no way of knowing if the results are because of your variable or would have happened anyway.

    10. Experiment CAUTION: a model or demonstration is NOT an experiment – make sure you are testing variables Avoid too many opinion polls - stick to factual data

    11. Conclude Explain the results of your experiments using a comparison between your control and your variable results. Put your data into a chart, graph or diagram Explain everything you found out and describe all the changes you had to make as you tested your variable.

    12. Conclude In short, summarize what you did and what you found out. Be very descriptive and detailed.

    13. Retest or identify areas for further study If you can, redo the experiment several times. The more data you have, the better your conclusions will be. Change your variables several times and collect data continuously. Identify what you would do to make the testing better and why you would do it. Restate your justification about why this information is important.

    14. Final Thoughts The project should show everyone that you know how to ask a question and find the answer through fair and complete testing. It should show everyone that you can find important information through proper research methods and use that information to do your experiment.

    15. Final Thoughts Your project should show that you can write well thought out paragraphs with good structure and spelling. Lastly, your project should show that you can be organized by being neat, easy to read and complete.
