1. Science Fair

2. Title Reflective of what your testing-on topic Fun Engaging Capturing peoples attention Hot Cans Heat Homes

3. Testable Questions Should be in question form Tells what you are trying to find out Measureable How much heat can an aluminum can solar panel generate to warm a garage?

4. Hypothesis Statement Answers the testable question Prediction-take the I think…. OFF Can be wrong Must be done before completing the lab The aluminum can solar panel will warm the air by 10 degrees F.

5. Materials List items used

6. Procedures Step by step directions that you followed Allows someone to duplicate, create more trials, more accurate data Must be numbered

7. Data Pictures Charts Tables Diagraphs Diagrams Graphs Two or more of these Displays measurements and data

8. Conclusions Analyzed the data What did I learn Tell the story the data is giving you Ask a new questions I wonder…… I conclude that….. The temperature went up 30 degrees but it was not a lot to warm the large garage.

9. Research What additional knowledge did you gain Three paragraphs about your topic Read about solar panels regular panels, homemade panels, panels on roof tops

10. Bibliography References from research References for activity ideas
