4. Background Research
Copy & paste your 5-paragraph research paper here. Single spaced. Leave one space in between paragraphs.

5. Background Research Continued
Delete this slide if you don’t require more room!!

6. Research Question
How does the (IV) affect the (DV)?

7. Hypothesis
The hypothesis should be a statement that is related to the research question and should be an if/then/because statement.
Pick one of the following templates to fill in your hypothesis:
It is hypothesized that there is a describe type of (positive, negative) correlation (relationship) between IV and DV because describe research that supports prediction.
The hypothesis for this research project is that IV will cause a significant change in DV because describe research that supports prediction.
If the IV describe how IV will change, then the DV will describe the effect because describe research that supports prediction.
It is hypothesized that IV will result in DV because describe research that supports prediction.
If IV and how it is changed then DV prediction because describe research that supports prediction.
As the IV increases/decreases, the DV increases/decreases because describe research that supports prediction.

8. Variables The independent variable for the experiment was (list IV).
The (3) levels of the independent variable were:
The dependent variable for the experiment was (list DV) and was measured in/by (list metric units or scale used).

9. Variables:
Constants throughout the experiment were: (list at least 4 constants):
(If applicable)
The control group for the experiment was (list control or describe the setup of the control).

10. Materials
The materials should be listed, very specific, and aligned with the procedures.
Include quantities & measurements. Make sure they’re in metric units.
You may include pictures of your materials.

11. Methods
Include any formulas, setting up procedures or creating of substances here that are not related to the actual testing for the experiment
Safety: Include safety guidelines and safety symbols.

12. Procedures
Procedures should be listed step-by-step. You should be able to visualize the experiment as you read the procedures & someone should be able to recreate your experiment just by reading the steps you provide.
Make sure you include the metric units or scale used!
No personal pronouns.
Remember to indicate how each level is being tested.
Remember to indicate to repeat testing for each level (trials).
You may include pictures or diagrams of the setup of materials.

13. Procedures continued Delete this slide if it is not needed
Copy this slide if there are more procedures

14. Data Table
You should have a clearly labeled data table for this section. (Copy and paste here from Excel or Word)
If you have multiple tables use multiple slides.
Tables should have clear titles, variables, etc.

15. Data Table Continued Delete slide if it is not needed
Copy this slide if you have more data tables

16. Graph
You should have a clearly labeled graph for this section. (Copy and paste here from Excel or Word)
This graph can either include all levels of your IV or it can contain just Level 1 of your IV.
Include one graph per slide.
Rename title of this slide to relate to your graph.

17. Graph – (Level 2 of IV) If not needed, delete this slide.
If more graph slides are needed, copy this slide and rename the slide title

18. Provide title for scientific picture here
Click icon above to add scientific picture.
Include short explanations of pictures below in this text box.
Copy this slide as needed.
If not needed, delete this slide.

19. Discussion of Results
The data showed that (using sentence format, describe the trend/relationships observed in your actual data). Use actual average data for each level of your IV if you had categories. Compare differences between averages. If something was measured over time, describe the trend of the line graph. Compare rates of change.

20. Discussion of Results
Although the experiment was controlled, there were still some possible sources of error.
The errors identified are:
For the future, (state what may be changed to reduce or remove these errors)

21. Conclusion
Analysis of the results revealed that (actual data & averages). The hypothesis was (supported or refuted).
(If supported) This happened because (give explanation).
(If refuted) This occurred because (give scientific reasons why if was refuted or wrong).

22. Application
The results from this experiment (indicate how your results can impact or relate to real life situations. Who would care about this research and how would it influence them).

23. Future Research
Future studies could focus on (future research question the effect of IV on DV).
This could be tested by repeating the same experiment, except (briefly explain how it would be different).
This would be useful to determine _____ because ______. (remove underlines and complete with your responses)

24. Future Research
Another problem that could be investigated is (future research question the effect of IV on DV).
This could be answered by (briefly explain)
The implications of this research would be of interest to _____ (remove underlines and complete with your responses).

25. References
Your references should include at least 3-5 sources that support your research. This should include websites, books, magazines, periodicals etc.
Must be in MLA format.
Pictures and diagrams taken from the internet should be cited as well.

26. Abstract – Use multiple slides if necessary.
The purpose of this project was to discover how the (IV) affected the (DV). The hypothesis was if the (IV) affects the (DV), then (Predict). This will happen because (Based on research give scientific reason why). The effect of (IV) on (DV) was determined by (Summarize your experiment). The results collected during this investigation were (Give average data for each level of the IV). The results showed that the hypothesis was (supported or refuted). (Next sentence only if refuted) This happened because (Scientific reason why based on research).
