  1. Problem

This is the question you will answer with your experiment.

My Independent Variable is:

This is the one thing you plan to change.

My Dependent Variable is:

This is the change you will measure.

I will keep these controlled variables the same.

These things you won’t change.

6. Observations (Record Data)

This is where you will record what happens when you perform your experiment. Use separate sheet if needed.

7. Science Knowledge

Explain the science knowledge behind this project. Explain what is happening scientifically. Use separate sheet if needed.

8. Analyze Data (Charts, Graphs, Etc)

A data table, chart, or graph is a good way to show the result of an experiment in an organized way. Make sure you label it correctly so it is easy to read. If you need more room,use a separate sheet.

9. Conclusion
