Science Fair Project

• Type your project title here
• Your name
• Your section
• Your teachers name
• Your school
• (You can change the design of the PPT now. Black
  on white is easiest and cheapest to print from a
  printer).

2
Question (or Statement of Purpose for engineering
and technology projects)

• Type your question here. (This is the question
  that your experiment answers.)

3
Research

• Summarize your research here in three to
• five bullet points
• 1st bullet point
• 2nd bullet point
• 3rd bullet point
• 4th bullet point
• 5th bullet point

4
Hypothesis

• Based on the research you have done, you will be
  writing an answer or solution your best
  educated guess to your question.
• Use If., then..because format

5
Variables

• Controlled variables These are the things that
  are kept the same throughout your experiments.
• Independent variable The one variable that you
  purposely change and test.
• Dependent variable The measure of change
  observed because of the independent variable. It
  is important to decide how you are going to
  measure the change.

6
Test Groups

• Control Group
• Experimental Group
• Describe what will each group look like and what
  did you change for the experimental group

7
Materials

• Type a detailed list of the items you needed to
  complete your experiments.
• Be specific about the amounts used
• Use metric units.

8
Procedure

• List all of the steps used in completing your
  experiment.
• Remember to number your steps.
• Add photos or diagrams of your experiments in
  some of the slides!

Procedure
10
Data/Observations

• It is easier to understand the data if it is put
  into a table or graph. Create a graph in
  Microsoft Excel and import it here.
• Make sure all data is clearly labeled.

11
Data Analysis

• Explain what your test results mean
• Compare your results to what has been found by
  similar tests

12
Conclusion

• Restates the hypothesis/purpose.
• States if hypothesis was correct or not.
• Results from testing are used to explain why
  hypothesis was correct or not.
• Summarizes data learned
• Explain one or more problem encountered w/short
  explanation
• Cite changes that would be made if the experiment
  were to be repeated.
• What other things would you like to investigate
  about this topic?
• Cite real-world application

Works Cited

• Be sure to include all print, electronic and
  interview sources and put them in alphabetical
  order. Use MLA format.
