1. Chapter 22: Running a Practice Experiment
“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”
Proverbs 18:15

2. Introduction
Before you begin!! – Make sure you have approval from the scientific review committee.
This is necessary IF you are using animals with a backbone, humans, or anything dangerous like a gun or something that explodes. Some bacteria and chemicals are also dangerous.
If you aren’t sure, check with your mentor or QUEST science club.

3. Starting that Practice Experiment!
Record your ideas and conversations with mentors so that you document whether or not you were told you need to get approval before proceeding with your project. (You do not need to include their names in the journal.)
If you need to fill out the SRC form, do it right away and submit it! (It was discussed in chapter 7)
When it comes back to you, glue it on the front cover of your journal. You must have it. DO NOT LOSE IT.

4. Now Plan, Start, Practice.
Are you surprised how long it took to plan your experiment?
Excellent planning will lead to a great experiment. You will do really well.
You are probably in for some surprises.
Talk to your mentor and decide on a good time to run your experiment.
Now it is time to try it out to see your procedure is going to work.

5. _____________________________________.
Surprises?
Write down any surprises you had during running your practice project in your journal.

6. Remember to write in your prayer journal and scientific notebook!!
Record your experience doing a test run of your science fair project in your journal.
And record any alternations you need to make in your procedures to make your actual experiment work.
Remember to write in your prayer journal and scientific notebook!!
