Individual Science Projects

Individual projects are due on December 7. You must upload your Power Point by 4pm on December 7. When you present in class you will need 2 printed copies of your abstract (that's the last item to prepare) and a copy of your forms (1, 1A, 1B, and 3. The second sheet of 1A lists everything you need to include with the forms. Make sure it's all complete. When your parents signed the forms they were signing that they had read all of your work.


When preparing the Power Point for your science project you should include the following.


  • ·        Title: Use all CAPS
  • ·        Problem: Why are you doing this problem? What interested you in this topic? Remember, if you know the results BEFORE you start it’s not a good project.
  • ·        Question: What is your scientific question? You must have one worthy of an advanced science student.
  • ·        Hypothesis: If_____________ then __________________
  • ·        Variables: manipulated/independent; responding/dependent; held constant
  • ·        Data Summary: Although all of your data is in your Journal you should prepare a summary of your data (means or averages as appropriate)
  • ·        Graphs: Graph your data (you may only choose to include your mean data)
  • ·        Results: This is a discussion of what you did, how you did it, what happened, an analysis of your data, and what it means.
  • ·        Conclusion: Determine if the analysis of data supports your hypothesis or not. Remember, you are never right, but you are never wrong. The data either supports or fails to support the hypothesis.
  • ·        Bibliography in either APA or MLA
