Science Fair Idea

• Hardest to think of….• What do you like to do?

• No vertebrates….unless prior approval from Mrs. Steen by Nov. 11

Scientific Method• Statement of purpose and hypothesis•Methodology• Analysis of data• Summary• Application

Statement of Purpose and Hypothesis

• What effect _______ has on _______ ?

• WHAT do you think will happen? (Nill)

Page 4: Science Fair Idea

Good vs. Bad Questions

• How is one brand of battery different from another?

• Which battery lasts longer? Timed trials…..

• Is skating good exercise?• How much does your

heart rate go up during

15 minutes of skating…..

METHODOLOGY• 5 references

• Maintain a LOGBOOK…… date….

• WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED• HOW TO DO THE EXPERIMENT

– what do you need to measure– how are you going to measure– how accurate is your measurement

Page 6: Science Fair Idea

DO THE EXPERIMENT

• Logbook….

– Dates – Observations– Data– Pictures– Measurements– Independent variable – describe the thing that you will

change in your experiment– Dependent variable – the change that you will measure– Controlled variables are the things you keep the same.

Summarize your data

Page 8: Science Fair Idea

Summary + conclusion

• write up a brief overview of your project. It states your title, purpose, hypothesis, a brief description of your methodology, and your conclusions. . If you have evidence from someone else/s research you need to include that information in here also……. This will be around 300 words for so…..
