Science is built on evidence from the natural world, but this evidence can be confusing or conflicting at times. Each new discovery tends to lead to more questions than answers. The scientific process is complex and non-linear, not a simple progression from hypothesis to conclusion. Hypotheses are predictions for experiments that require logically reasoned background knowledge. The scientific method involves manipulating an independent variable while measuring its effect on a dependent variable, while controlling for other influences through constant variables.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. ABOUT CAPE TOWN EXPO…….
OUR VISION
Inspiring Young Scientists
OUR MISSION
We develop scientists that are able to
identify a problem, analyse information,
find solutions and communicate findings
effectively

5. WHAT IS EXPO ABOUT ?
An exposition, or science fair, where learners
like you show others their projects about their
own scientific investigations
You can discuss your work with judges,
teachers and learners from other schools and
with other interested people
The prizes & prestige are one aspect
Learners increase their awareness of wonders
of Science, add to their knowledge and broaden
their scientific horizons
5
6. *WHAT IS A SCIENTIFIC PROJECT ?
An investigation in which you try to solve a
problem or answer a question that you have
identified
A project that follows a method that allows
you to test an idea or solve a problem and
come to a clear conclusion
Original work done by you – not something
you have found on the web or in a book or
copied from someone else!

7. STEPS TO A GOOD
SCIENTIFIC PROJECT
• STEP 1: Choosing a topic
• STEP 2: Project description

draw up a method
• STEP 4: Collect data
• STEP 5: Record your results in tables
• STEP 6: Discuss results
• STEP 7: Conclusion
• STEP 8: Evaluate the whole project
• STEP 9: Write a scientific report
