Clara Daniels, Principal
Natalie Crittendon, Science Fair Coordiantor
Science Fair Projects Must Be EXPERIMENTS!
An experiment is a test to find outsomething.
Experiments are repeated 3 times.
Beware
Do not make a volcano or the Solar
System. These are display projects and
do not answer a scientific question!X X
Scoring
Judges will not score projects that do not
follow the scientific method.
Steps to the Scientific MethodQuestion / ProblemHypothesisMaterialsVariables (4th and 5th)ProcedureData / ResultsConclusion
Question / Problem
What do I want to find out?What do I want to learn?
?
Hypothesis
Based on what I already know, what do I
think will happen? This is also called a
prediction.
Materials
This is what you will use to conduct your
experiment.
VariablesThe variable is the one factor I wish to
change (or use in different amounts).Everything is given the exact same
conditions except for one factor. This factor is my variable .
I need to explain things I did to make it a controlled experiment.
Variable are things that have an effect on the experiment.
Procedure
These are the steps that I follow to do my
experiment. The steps have to be numbered.
Data / Results
Results-This is what actually happened
during this experiment.
Data-This is where I show the data in
the form of a graph or chart.
Conclusion
What did I learn?Was my prediction correct or should it be rejected?
If I did this experiment again what would I do differently?
