Presentation transcript:

Must be something you can __________________________________. Cannot be an __________________ such as which flowers do you like better, roses or daises?

Make a ____________ of what you think the outcome of your question will be. Must be in the _________________________________ format.

Be specific – include the _____________________ for each material.

Make sure it’s specific and clear. Should be a _______________________ that is ___________________.

Manipulated Variable (independent variable) – the variable that you ______________ in the experiment. Responding Variable (dependant variable) – the variable that ____________________ to what you ___________________. Constants and controls – things you _________________________ in order to run the experiment correctly. You will only have 1 manipulated variable and 1 responding variable. __________________ else ____________ stay the same in order for the experiment to be ____________.

Easy way to show results. Could be a _______________________…

Be sure to include: 1)Your ____________ in words (tell me what your data says in a few sentences) 2) State whether your ____________ was correct or not and why 3)Discuss any possible _________ that may have occurred in your experiment. Explain how you could make the experiment better if you were do the experiment again.
