This science fair project examines the question of how a particular independent variable affects a dependent variable. The student hypothesized how changing one factor would influence the outcome measured. They conducted research on the topic, defined the variables to be studied, outlined materials and procedures for testing their hypothesis, collected and recorded data from multiple trials, and analyzed whether the results supported or contradicted their initial prediction.

1. Science Fair ProjectProject titleYour name | Your teacher’s name | Your school

2. Statement of the ProblemType your question here. (This is the question that your experiment answers.)

3. Project OverviewType a brief overview or summary of your project here.

4. ResearchSummarize your research here in three to five bullet points:1st point2nd point3rd point4th point5th point

5. VariablesControlled variables: These are the things that are kept the same throughout your experiment.Independent variable: The one variable that you purposely change and test.Dependent variable: The measure of change observed because of the independent variable. It is important to decide how you are going to measure the change.

6. HypothesisBased on the research you have done, you will be writing an answer or solution – your best educated guess – to your question. Make sure you write down your hypothesis before you begin your experiment.

7. MaterialsType a detailed list of the items you needed to complete your experiments. Be specific about the amounts used.

8. ProcedureList all of the steps used in completing your experiment.Remember to number your steps.Add photos of your experiments.

9. Data/ObservationsIt is easier to understand the data if it is put into a table or graph. Create a graph in Microsoft Excel and import it here.Make sure all data is clearly labeled.

10. ConclusionType a brief summary here of what you discovered based on the results of your experiments. You need to indicate whether or not the data supports the hypothesis and explain why or why not.
