How do we Write a Conclusion
Paragraph?

6. After completing a lab, it is
important to write a conclusion
paragraph based on evidence.
Evidence can be quantitative
(numbers) or qualitative (descriptive
observations, patterns, etc.)

7. Address the following points in your
paragraph.
1)Restate the overall
purpose/challenge of the lab.
1) Independent Variable: materials and
restrictions
2) Dependent Variable: Design for Height of
structure or Strength of structure

8. 2)What were the major findings?
1) Summarize your experiment….
2) What was the initial design, modifications
made & results-- give any specific #’s or
observations to support the viability of your
structure
3) What did you find that worked, what didn’t
work?

9. 3) Was the hypothesis supported by
your evidence?
1) Yes or No
2) How so?
3) Did anything surprise you?

10. 4) How would you improve this
experimental structure?
1) What did you learn about the materials?
2) What would you differently?

11. 5) What else could we do to continue
a study of this building topic?
1) If we could try again, what would you like to
investigate?
2) How would you modify this experiment?
3) Would you use different materials or have
different parameters?
4) What value does investigating building
structures have in our world?

12. Chemistry is present in every aspect of life.
Choose any 2 questions and record a
