solution – your best educated guess – to your question. Make sure
you write down your hypothesis before you begin your experiment.
MATERIALS
• Type a detailed list of the items you needed to complete your
experiments. Be specific about the amounts used.
PROCEDURE
• List all of the steps used in completing your experiment.
• Remember to number your steps.
• Add photos of your experiments.
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.
CONCLUSION
• Type a brief summary here of what you discovered based on the
results of your experiments. You need to indicate whether or not the
data supports the hypothesis and explain why or why not.
