SCIENCE FAIR - FINAL CHECKLIST!!!

Please review the Science Fair Grading Rubric in your science fair packet before you put your board together.  Remember that we will have work days in class on Tuesday, April 26 and Wednesday, April 27.  Please come with all materials you need (markers, glue, lettering, etc.)  I will not be providing these items for you. Make sure to bring $4 for your board if you have not already done so.

Final checklist - Include all of these on your board:
_____________1. Problem, stated in question form.

_____________2. Hypothesis:  Should answer the question and should be based on
                              your background information.

_____________3. Procedure:  This includes Materials (what you used) and
                              Method (what you did).  Each section should be clearly
                              labeled, in metric measurements and detailed.  Method steps
                              should be numbered or bulleted.

_____________4. Data Collection (Observations):  This is what happened in your
                              experiment.  It should be documented by data in tables, pictures,
                              graphs, etc.  Label this on your board as Observations or Data.

_____________5. Conclusion:  This should answer your problem question.  It is the
                              same as your hypothesis but based on what actually happened.

_____________6. Variables:  Identify the independent variable and
                              the responding variable.  Tell what variables you kept constant.
