Science Rocks!

With Labcoat Lorie Science Project: Presentation Board Elements Worksheet Use your Mini-ME, your Experimental Design Worksheet, your data tables & graph(s) to write your best-quality versions of your Presentation Board Elements. Complete & turn this in by Thursday, March 21st. After teacher suggestions, youll make necessary modifications and turn in your Final Versions on Tuesday, March 26th.

Project Title (Should be short and accurate, and as attention-getting, catchy and fun as possible):

Background Information (Information that you learned or already knew which helped you form your
question and design your experiment):

______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________

Question (What you are trying to find out in this experiment.

Use this form: How does IV affect DV?)

Hypothesis (Your educated guess about what will happen in this experiment.

Try the form, I think <action>ing the IV will cause DV to <reaction expected> because _________________.

______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________

IV: Independent Variable (The ONE THING that YOU are changing):

DV: Dependent Variable (The ONE THING you think will change BECAUSE you change the IV):

CVs: Controlled Variables (Things that must be kept the same to make this a fair test):

Materials (Everything used to conduct your experiment.

You likely have a LOT of things listed, so plan to write small here and on your Project Board. List these either alphabetically or in the order they enter into the experiments procedure.):

Procedure (The steps in your experiment.

List only those done DURING your experiment. Number each step, and list steps in the order you did them. You likely have a lot of steps, so plan to write small here and on your Project Board):

Data Table & Graph (Please attach your NEATEST version of your data table and graph.) Conclusion (How did the results of your experiment support or contradict your hypothesis?
Try the form, The results of my experiment <supported or contradicted> my hypothesis. Changing the IV caused DV to <result>. This <does or does not> surprise me because ________________________.

Recommendations (If you were going to do this again, what would you do differently? What do you
think should be done next? For example, do you think the experiment should be done again with different controlled variables? Do you think a larger number of tests should be done to prove the validity of your data? Do you think part of your experiment was not fair, so it should be done again with this unfair variable controlled differently? What would be a great next question to ask?):

Awesomeness (Besides the answer to your original question, what are some other things you learned
during this project? What did you like best about doing your science project?):
