1. Science Fair Template ( Write your Title)
A title should be a creative way to tell about your project
(Yum, Cookies)

2. Objective
The question the lab is supposed to find the answer to. It should not be asked as a yes/ no question.
How does the amount of baking soda affect the height of a cookie?

3. Hypothesis What you believe will be the answer to your question.
The greater the amount of baking soda the higher the cookie will be.

4. Background Knowledge (Review of Literature)
What information would I need in order to understand the experiment?
How do the instruments used work?
What other experiments helped me form my hypothesis? How were those experiments done?
Citation (credit) was given to where I found my background information.

5. Materials A complete list of all needed materials for the experiment.
Include the quantity needed of each material (how many/much?)
6 g of baking soda
3 cookie sheet baking pans (21 x 21 cm)

6. Procedure
Step by step instructions to repeat the experiment. These should be numbered and provide detail.
1. Mix the 4g of flour, 4 g of sugar and 1g of baking soda in a bowl, stirring carefully.
2. Mix 20 mL of oil with 2 eggs in a different bowl until well mixed.

7. Data
Create a chart/table of any numerical information collected during the experiment.

8. Data: Graph
Create a one or more visual representations (graph) of the recorded numerical data
Choose the appropriate type of graph
Graph(s) should help someone to understand what you found out.

9. Title (should reflect information collected)

10. Observations
Written observations of things you notice while completing the experiment
The humidity was rather high but not measured.
The electric power for the oven went off for 2 minutes during Trial two.

11. Discussion
Discuss what went right/wrong before and during the experiment.
Suggest improvements to correct any errors

12. Conclusion
Briefly describe how the knowledge gained will help you, your community and the scientific world.
How can we use the information?
