7. Purpose Why are you performing the experiment?
Oh I get it! So, for example, my purpose question could be: Do I sell more albums when I have a famous boyfriend - or right after we break up?
Why are you performing the experiment?
What question would you like answered?
Phrase question so it is specific and therefore able to be tested!
Which brand of gum is the best? 
How can we test EVERY brand of gum?
What is meant by “the best?”
Which brand of gum, Bubbalicious or Bazooka, blows the biggest bubbles? 
Able to be tested and answered definitively!

8. Hypothesis Educated Guess
We hypothesize that we’ll sell more albums this year than last - because, let’s face it, girls love us!
Educated Guess
Based on your prior knowledge and experience, what do you think will happen?
Example:
I think Bazooka gum will blow the biggest bubbles because I chew it a lot at home and have blown some huge bubbles with it!
It is unacceptable not to make a hypothesis or write “I don’t know.”

9. Materials List of objects you will use to perform your experiment
Materials Needed to Be a Pop Star: recording contract, manager, stylist, and, oh yeah, lots of loyal fans!
List of objects you will use to perform your experiment
Be specific enough so that a complete stranger could repeat your experiment if necessary
Example:
Two packs of gum (one Bubbalicious and one Bazooka), timer, ruler with measurements in inches.

10. Procedure
Procedure:
Adopt a kid.
Adopt 2 more.
Give birth to a child.
Give birth to 2 more.
Repeat steps 1– 4.
The exact description and order of the steps taken to perform the experiment
Again, be so specific that a complete stranger could understand and repeat the experiment if necessary
Example:
1. Unwrap and chew 1 piece of Bubbalicious bubble gum for 30 seconds (use timer).
2. Blow bubble as large as possible.
3. Using ruler, partner will measure diameter of bubble to nearest tenth of an inch.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 with 1 piece of Bazooka bubble gum.
5. Compare diameters of bubbles blown.

11. Results What did you observe?
What results when you pair people who can’t sing with people who can? A hit TV show!
What did you observe?
Be specific; give measurements if appropriate.
Be OBJECTIVE – do not draw any conclusions or give your opinion here
Example:
While Bubbalicious gum can produce a bubble with a diameter of 3.7 inches, Bazooka gum can produce a bubble with a diameter of 4.2 inches.

12. Conclusion Explain the significance of your results
I conclude that if you study and apply these terms, you’ll be a master scientist in no time!
Explain the significance of your results
Answer the purpose question
Example:
Bazooka blows bigger bubbles (by 0.5 inches) than Bubbalicious bubble gum.
