1.Daily Activity Log - personal thoughts, interviews, plans, actions
• For example: 3/15/11 - did background
research on Internet today; notes are recorded in background info section of this log book
![Page 8: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
2.Background Info – • research-from books,
Internet, interviews, etc. • include a works cited
page in this section (websites, books used, etc.)
![Page 9: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3. Scientific Method of Investigation • Problem/Research Question - 1 - 2
sentences • Hypothesis - 1 - 2 sentences • Variables - list independent
variable, dependent variable, controlled variables (constants)
• Equipment & Materials - list • Procedure - numbered list
![Page 10: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Variables •It is important for an experiment to be a fair test.
•You conduct a fair test by making sure that you change one factor at a time while keeping all other conditions the same.
![Page 11: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Independent Variable
•One thing that you changed in your experiment.
•If you are testing the growth of plants in different light levels, the independent variable is the amount of light each group of plants receives.
![Page 12: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dependent Variable
•Quantity that you are measuring in your experiment
•If you are testing the growth of plants in different light levels, the dependent variable might be the height of the plants grown in different light levels.
![Page 13: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Controlled variables
•Variables that were held constant for all groups.
•If you are testing the growth of plants in different light levels, the controlled variable might be the type of plants, the pot size, the amount of dirt and the amount of water.
![Page 14: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
4.Raw Data, Observations - use tables, notes, etc., to record your experimental results
![Page 15: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
5.Findings & Interpretations
• Interpret your results.• What do they say?
![Page 16: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
6. Conclusions & Recommendations
• State whether or not your hypothesis was correct and why.
• Make recommendations for improving your project & for further study.
![Page 17: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Science Fair Project Requirements:
•The purpose of the display is to show what you have done.
•The exhibit should be visually appealing, using color and photos to show the work you have done.
•Photographs that are dated and labeled are useful to relay the progress of the experiment, and/or the outcome of the experiment.
![Page 18: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The objective of a display board is to present the main
areas and conclusions of your project so that
others can easily understand what you
accomplished.
![Page 19: December 12 Science Fair Science Fair Project Requirements: l. logbook 2. display board 3. abstract 4. models and/or visual aids.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e585503460f94b50c1f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Think of the display board as a commercial for your
project.
