9. TITLE OF PROJECT NAME OF STUDENT

10. PROBLEM STATEMENT Includes independent, dependent variable and the metric units that will be used to measure the results Example: Which brand of paper towels: Bounty, Brawny or Viva will hold the most mL of water?

11. HYPOTHESIS Includes If and then (if: is what your are doing, then: is what you expect to happen) If… then…because Example: If I pour water into Bounty, Brawny, or Viva, then Viva will hold the mL of water.

12. VARIABLES Independent Variable – what you are testing that is different: paper towels Independent Variable – what you are testing that is different: paper towels Dependent Variable- the outcome : amount of water Dependent Variable- the outcome : amount of water Control group- none ( Not all experiments need a control group) Control group- none ( Not all experiments need a control group) Constants: Constants: Size of paper towel Size of paper towel Amount of water Amount of water Size of beaker Size of beaker Amount of time towel is soaked in water Amount of time towel is soaked in water

13. MATERIALS Always written as a list. Includes quantity, amounts and what you are using. Always written as a list. Includes quantity, amounts and what you are using. This part can take more than 1 slide: This part can take more than 1 slide: 3- 10x11cm sheet of Viva 3- 10x11cm sheet of Viva 3- 200 mL plastic measuring cup 3- 200 mL plastic measuring cup 3- 150 mL of tap water 3- 150 mL of tap water

14. PROCEDURES Written and as a list and numbered: Needs to be detailed so another individual could replicate the entire process. Step 1: Gather materials Step 1: Gather materials Step 2: cut Brawny, Bounty and Viva into 10 x 11 cm sheets. Step 2: cut Brawny, Bounty and Viva into 10 x 11 cm sheets. Step 3: Pour 150mL of tap water into 200 mL plastic beaker Step 3: Pour 150mL of tap water into 200 mL plastic beaker Step 4: put Brawny 10x11cm paper towel sheet into beaker. Step 4: put Brawny 10x11cm paper towel sheet into beaker. Step 5: set timer for 10 seconds. Step 5: set timer for 10 seconds. Step 6: lift Brawny and let excess water drip into beaker. Step 6: lift Brawny and let excess water drip into beaker. Step 7: measure the amount of tap water left in the beaker. Step 7: measure the amount of tap water left in the beaker. Step 8: record the data Step 8: record the data Step 9: repeat the process for each paper towel Step 9: repeat the process for each paper towel Step 10: repeat the entire process two more times Step 10: repeat the entire process two more times

15. RESULTS Results- after trial 1- Brawny held 50 mL of water, Bounty 75 mL of water and Viva 80 mL of water. After trial 2 Brawny held 60 mL of water, Bounty 75 mL of water and Viva 80 mL of water. After trial 3- Brawny held 50 mL of water, Bounty 100 mL of water and Viva 80 mL of water. Results- after trial 1- Brawny held 50 mL of water, Bounty 75 mL of water and Viva 80 mL of water. After trial 2 Brawny held 60 mL of water, Bounty 75 mL of water and Viva 80 mL of water. After trial 3- Brawny held 50 mL of water, Bounty 100 mL of water and Viva 80 mL of water. Qualitative data- The Viva soaked up the water the fastest. Brawny broke really quick and Bounty did not allow water to drip. Qualitative data- The Viva soaked up the water the fastest.

20. CONCLUSION Written in 3 different paragraphs that answers 7 questions 1. 1.What was investigated? (describe the problem) 2. 2.Was the hypothesis supported by the data? 3. 3.What are the major findings? (qualitative and quantitative results are summarized 4. 4.How did your findings compare with other researchers who have also done this experiment (people who are professionals not other students) and why do you think your results occurred the way it did; 5. 5.What possible explanations can you offer for your findings, was something done differently than the researchers or did you get the same results? Did the experiment work out the way you expected? 6. 6.What possible explanations do you have for further study and for improving the experiment? (if you would do it again what would you do and why) 7. 7.What are some possible applications of the experiment? (how would this information be good or applicable to society)
