  2. Interests Let’s get your brain thinking about your science fair project! Think about the topics that interest you and what you might wonder about those topics. For example, if you are interested in cars you may wonder what makes them go faster or slower. Your investigation could be based on that wondering. What topics interest you? ** ** ** ** Think about one or two of the topics and some of the things you wonder about them. ** ** ** **

  3. Vocabulary • Title--The name given to the project. • Research question--Cause and effect question that is measurable. • Predictions--3 likely outcomes (experiment may show an increase, decrease or no effect). • Independent variable--The one element that is changed. • Dependent variable--The element that is to be measured. • Control Group--The set of data measured under normal conditions. • Set-up Conditions--A list of things that were kept constant. • Materials--A list of all the items needed to complete the investigation. • Procedures--List of steps in order of exactly what was done. • Data Collection--Chart with the data that was measured in the experiment. • Graph--A mathematical picture (bar graph, line graph or circle graph) that accurately shows the average data of each variable. • Results--A statement that explains what happened with the data using mathematical language. • Explanation--A summary of what was learned related to the selected prediction. • Real World Uses--How the information from your investigation could be used.
