Variables:
STATE THE INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES. LIST
EXPERIMENTAL CONTROLS.

Hypothesis:
IS ALWAYS AN IF THEN STATEMENT.

• If
  … then … because.

  
  

WHAT
DO YOU PREDICT WILL HAPPEN? IDENTIFY YOUR INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT
VARIABLES AND HOW WILL THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE AFFECT THE DEPENDENT
VARIABLE.

YOU
MAY ATTACH A BAR GRAPH, DATA TABLE, CHART ETC… YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO REWRITE IT AGAIN, UNLESS IT IS IN YOUR NOTEBOOK OR IT IS TOO
SLOPPY TO BE CONSIDERED A FINAL DRAFT. REMEMBER THAT YOUR DATA WILL
BE SPECIFIC TO YOUR GROUP. IT WILL NOT CONTAIN THE SAME INFORMATION
THAT OTHER GROUPS WILL HAVE. IF YOU ARE MISSING DATA, GET IT FROM
SOMEONE IN YOUR GROUP!

Conclusion:
YOU CAN USE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES FOR YOUR CONCLUSION:

In
class, we have been studying _______________________

The
question we were trying to answer during our experiment was, ______

_________________________.
My hypothesis was if ________________________________,
then_______________________________ will happen. I thought this
because _______________________________________ . My hypothesis
was/was not supported by the data. (IT HAS TO BE ONE OR THE OTHER
– WHAT DOES YOUR DATA SHOW? WAS YOUR

HYPOTHESIS
SUPPORTED BY THE DATA OR NOT?) IF YOU PRODUCED DATA THAT WAS
INCORRECT OR SURPRISING TO YOU, WHY MIGHT THAT HAVE HAPPENED? IF
YOUR DATA WAS INCONCLUSIVE, SAY THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH
INFORMATION TO KNOW. WHAT SOME POSSIBLE SOURCES OF ERROR? WRITE A
SENTENCE OR TWO ABOUT THAT
