1. Science Fair Project –Finishing Up 6 th Grade

2. Data Tables/Graphs: (Due 1/21) *Ms. Morell and I met to make sure that you had good resources to create your data tables and graphs. If you need help creating a graph, look at step by step instructions on her blog: http://mbmorell-6thgradetech.blogspot.com/ If you would like ideas for other types of graphs, visit: http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.a spx

3. For more information on WHAT type of graph and data table based on the type of data that you are gathering, visit: http://www.htsdc.org/assets/Science- Fair-packet.pdf http://www.htsdc.org/assets/Science- Fair-packet.pdf

4. Results (Due 1/21) Write the results of the experiment based on the information you have observed. WRITE WHAT HAPPENED. Example: A sheet of Viva paper towel absorbed an average of 50ml of water. A sheet of Bounty paper towel absorbed an average of 36ml of water.

5. Conclusion: (1/21) Ask yourself these questions: 1. Did you get the result you expected to get? If not- how were the results different? 2. Were there any unexpected problems or occurrences that may have affected the results of your investigation? 3. Do you think you collected sufficient data? (Were there enough trials? Samples?) 4. Do you need to change your original hypothesis? (If you write a revised hypothesis. DO NOT use it to replace your original hypothesis for this project!)

6. Conclusion: What you MUST include 1. State whether you now agree or disagree with your original hypothesis. 2. Describe any problems or unusual events that occurred during your investigation. 3. Describe what you would do differently next time. 4. Change your hypothesis if your data does not support your original hypothesis.
