I. Problem: A question written to tell how the item you change (variable) affects your results.
Ex. Does the amount of water affect the growth of plants?
Does the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the car?
II. Hypothesis: A prediction of what you think the answer to the problem will be. Written as an if – then statement.
Ex. If the amount of water increases, then the plant height will increase.
If the angle of the ramp increases, then the speed of the car will decrease.
III. Materials: A list of all the materials and tools used. Be very specific.
IV. Procedure: A step-by-step explanation of what you did. Steps are numbered. It should be clear enough that anyone reading the report could recreate the experiment.
V. Observations: All the data you collect. Any observations you make by hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling or in some cases, tasting. You may need to use charts, graphs, tables, diagrams, etc. to make the data easier to read and understand.
VI. Conclusion: Usually written in paragraph form.
1.Tell whether or not your data supports your hypothesis.
2.Restate the hypothesis by telling what the correct answer to the problem is according to your data.
3.Tell what changes you would make next time.
