This science fair project document outlines the sections and information needed to complete a science fair project, including a statement of the problem being investigated, an overview and research background, hypotheses, materials and procedures, data collection and observations, and conclusions. The student is prompted to provide their name, project title, teacher, and school at the beginning and then fill in the remaining sections with the specific details of their chosen project.

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 experimentexperiment 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:
• 1st
bullet point
• 2nd
bullet point
• 3rd
bullet point
• 4th
bullet point
• 5th
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.
