1. Soap Floats Lab

2. Question/Problem How your lab group make the bar of soap float in a container of water?

3. Research the problem Describe any science information needed to solve the problem and how to collect information. Float: To move gently on the surface of a liquid (water); drift along. To rest or remain on the surface of a liquid.

4. Explore Ideas Describe three ideas that could solve the problem, including any useful scientific concepts.

5. Plan Summary Which of the ideas (previously listed) will you use and why?

6. Hypothesis Prediction: Predicted answer to the question. What will happen? Related to question and includes: Should be written as an, if, then, because statement.

7. Experimental Procedures Materials: List the materials needed

8. Procedures 1. Gather materials 2. 3. 4.

9. Data Observations Observations: what do you see? Record measurements: How long did the soap float for each of your trials? Do you need a data table?

10. Analysis Show any math work

11. Conclusion Summary of the results This needs to include your Data! Relates to hypothesis: Supported or not? How do you know? Yes, my hypothesis was correct, (or no my hypothesis was incorrect) I stated, (restate hypothesis word for word). Then use data, pictures, or observations in the lab to prove why you were right or wrong.

12. Reflection If I were to do this lab again, I would….
