There are 2 types of projects: Models to help understand a concept and Experiments to test a question.
For either type of project follow the following guide lines:
1. study/research your subject (take notes in your science journal)
2. write down everything you do related to your project in your science journal.
3. plan your experiment: materials, procedure, hypothesis
4. conduct the experiment (record data/results, observations)
5. analyze the data (observations/graphs/charts)
6. results and conclusion: (results: what happened? what did you find out? conclusion: was your hypothesis correct? why did you get those results? why is that important? how does that relate to a bigger picture? did anything go wrong? what might have impacted your results? what improvements might you make for next time?)
6. share your findings: create a science board display (this should included: title, introduction/purpose, background information(optional), hypothesis, materials, procedure, data, results, conclusion)
*Remember all of your notes planning and ideas should be in your science journal. You might want to add photos, drawing or diagrams to help with your experiment.
