Background Research
• These 3 paragraphs should include 5-7
sentences each that will explain ideas
that will help you understand what is
occurring in your experiment. It should
start with an attention grabber to get
the reader interested in your
experiment.
• Refer to your research paper if needed.
Background Research Continued
Research Question
• How does the (IV) affect the (DV)?
Hypothesis
•
The hypothesis should be a statement that is related to the research
question and should be an if/then/because statement.
• Pick one of the following templates to fill in your hypothesis:
1. It is hypothesized that there is a describe type of (positive, negative)
correlation (relationship) between IV and DV because describe research
that supports prediction.
2. The hypothesis for this research project is that IV will cause a significant
change in DV because describe research that supports prediction.
3. If the IV describe how IV will change, then the DV will describe the
effect because describe research that supports prediction.
4. It is hypothesized that IV will result in DV because describe research
that supports prediction.
5. If IV and how it is changed then DV prediction because describe
research that supports prediction.
6. As the IV increases/decreases, the DV increases/decreases because
describe research that supports prediction.
Variables
• The independent variable for the experiment was
(list IV).
• The (five) levels of the independent variable were:
–
–
–
–
–
-
• The dependent variable for the experiment was
(list DV) and was measured in/by (list metric
units).
Variables:
• Constants for the experiment were: (list at least 4
constants):
–
–
–
–
-
(If applicable)
• The control for the experiment was (list control or
describe the setup of the control).
Materials
• The materials should be listed, very
specific, and aligned with the
procedures. Include quantities. Make
sure they’re in metric units. You may
include pictures of your materials.
Methods
• Include any formulas, setting up procedures
or creating of substances here that are not
related to the actual testing for the
experiment
• Also include safety guidelines and safety
symbols.
Procedures
• Procedures should be listed step-by-step. You should be
able to visualize the experiment as you read the
procedures.
• Make sure you include the metric units
• No personal pronouns
• Remember to indicate how each level is being tested
• Remember to indicate to repeat testing for each level
(trials).
• You may include pictures or diagrams of the setup of
materials.

Data Table
• You should have a clearly labeled data
table for this section. (Copy and paste
here from Excel)
• If you have multiple tables use multiple
slides
Data Table Continued
• Delete slide if it is not needed
• Copy this slide if you have more data tables
Graph – (Level 1 of IV)
• You should have a clearly labeled
graph for this section. (Copy and paste
here from Excel)
• Include one graph per slide
• Rename title of this slide to relate to
your graph
Graph – (Level 2 of IV)
Graph – (Level 3 of IV)
• If more graph slides are needed, copy this
slide and rename the slide title

Discussion of Results
• The data showed that (using sentence
format, describe the trend/relationships
observed in your actual data). Use
actual average data for each level of
your IV if you had categories. Compare
differences between averages. If
something was measured over time,
describe the trend of the line graph.
Compare rates of change.
Discussion of Results
• Although the experiment was controlled,
there were still some possible sources of error.
• The errors identified are:
1. 2. 3. -
• For the future, (state what may be changed
to reduce or remove these errors)
Conclusion
• Analysis of the results revealed that (actual
data (averages or rate of change)). The
hypothesis was (supported or refuted).
• (If supported) This happened because (give
explanation).
• (If refuted) This occurred because (give
scientific reasons why if was refuted or
wrong).
Application
• The results from this experiment (indicate
how your results can impact or relate to
real life situations. Who would care
about this research and how would it
influence them).
Future Research
• Future studies could focus on (future
research question the effect of IV on
DV).
• This could be tested by repeating the
same experiment, except (briefly explain
how it would be different).
• This would be useful to determine _____
because ______. (remove underlines
and complete with your responses)
Future Research
• Another problem that could be
investigated is (future research question
the effect of IV on DV).
• This could be answered by (briefly
explain)
• The implications of this research would be
of interest to _____ (remove underlines
and complete with your responses).
References
• Your references should include at least
5 sources that support your research.
This should include websites, books,
magazines, periodicals etc.
• Must be in MLA format
• Pictures and diagrams taken from the
internet need to be cited as well.
Abstract – Use multiple slides if
necessary
• The purpose of this project was to discover how
the (IV) affected the (DV). The hypothesis was if
the (IV) affects the (DV), then (Predict). This will
happen because (Based on research give
scientific reason why). The effect of (IV) on (DV)
was determined by (Summarize your
experiment). The results collected during this
investigation were (Give average data for each
level of the IV). The results showed that the
hypothesis was (supported or refuted). (Next
sentence only if refuted) This happened because
(Scientific reason why based on research).
