This science fair project explores a question by conducting an experiment with controlled variables, an independent variable that is changed, and a dependent variable that is measured. The student hypothesized the results of the experiment before conducting detailed procedures using listed materials. Data was organized and observations were made, with the conclusion summarizing that the results did or did not support the initial hypothesis.

1. Science Fair Project Type your project title here Your name Your teacher’s name Your school

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

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

4. Research Summarize your research here in three to five bullet points: 1 st bullet point 2 nd bullet point 3 rd bullet point 4 th bullet point 5 th bullet point

5. Variables Controlled variables: These are the things that are kept the same throughout your experiments. 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. Hypothesis Based 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. Materials Type a detailed list of the items you needed to complete your experiments. Be specific about the amounts used.

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

9. Data/Observations It 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. Conclusion Type 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.

11. Works Cited Be sure to include print and electronic sources and put them in alphabetical order.
