1. Creative Title for Your Project First and Last Name Teacher Grade Date

2. The Problem (Write out the question that you are testing.)

3. Background Information/Research List three or four FACTS from your research that provided you with evidence to support your hypothesis. Choose the most interesting things you learned and want to share with the class. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE YOUR ENTIRE research paper here. It should take no more then 2 slides to complete

4. The Background Information Continuation of background facts. Remember there should be 3-4 facts on this slide, too.

5. Hypothesis Copy and paste your hypothesis here or retype it exactly the way it is written in your journal.

6. The Materials Create a detailed list of all the materials you need for your experiment. You can use more than one slide if you need to. This slide has been divided up into two columns You may change the layout to suit your needs. Remember to include quantities.

7. The Variables Independent Variable (The experimental variable – the one factor that you change. There is only one independent variable.) : Dependent Variable (The factor that changes because of the independent variable, the responding variable.) : Controlled Variable (All factors that cannot change that could influence the dependent variable. If these changed it could spoil the results):

8. The Procedures This part of the PowerPoint may take up to 3 slides. Detailed procedures are extremely important. Be sure if you choose to add columns in your layout that it is easy to follow for the viewer.

9. Data Change the layout to meet your needs. (You may want a table, chart, or columns.) This is where you insert your data table. Remember: quantitative observation are measurements and counts.

10. Graphed Results Create a graph to represent the data in your data table from the previous Make sure to include all necessary label and parts of a graph. Include the units of measurement (volts, centimeters, grams, Celcius). Place your independent variable on the x-axis of your graph and the dependent variable on the y-axis.

11. Results (Analyze Data) (written explanation) Calculate measures of central tendencies for the different trials of your experiment. Calculate the mean – average Calculate the mode - data that occurs most often Calculate the median - the middle value when placed in order from low to high Show these here and state what these say about your results. Talk about the data here. What did you find? Summarize your data

12. Conclusion
