PROJECT PLAN Due September 19

PROJECT PLAN The form is located on my website

PROJECT PLAN SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT PLAN Due __________________ Answer these questions on a separate piece of paper. 1. Write your problem statement in the form of a question. This should be your testable question.

PROJECT PLAN 2. What is your independent variable? (What would you change as you investigate your problem?) There should only be one. 3. What is your dependent variable? (What would you measure as you investigate your problem?) 4. Rewrite your problem statement in the form: “How does the independent variable affect the dependent variable? (Substitute your variables for the underlined words.)

PROJECT PLAN 5. Write a hypothesis in the form: “As the independent variable (increases/decreases), the dependent variable will (increase/decrease). (Pick one of the choices, or another appropriate term.) 6. How will you test your hypothesis? Write a step by step procedure showing how you will change your independent variable and how you will measure the dependent variable. Be as specific as you can about values for the variables (actual numbers) and materials you will need.

PROJECT PLAN 7. List any materials, instruments, or people you might need that you don’t think you can get on your own. 8.List any skills or information you will need that you would like someone to assist you in obtaining or learning.

PROJECT PLAN Engineering Project - differences: 4. Rewrite your problem statement in the form: “How does the independent variable affect the dependent variable? (Substitute your variables for the underlined words.) 5. State your engineering goal (this is a statement). What is it that you expect to accomplish? 6. How will you build your mock-up/prototype and then test it? Write a step by step procedure showing how you will build your mock-up/prototype and then how you will test it. Be as specific as you can about materials you will need.

PROJECT PLAN You need to do a literature search to add to your knowledge to verify that you can do this project and there is enough information out there about it. Your hypothesis should not be vague…it should be specific…we should have no doubt what you will be testing.
