Science Fair Project
due December 16, 2015
Problem/Purpose
·
What is your goal?
·
What idea are you trying to test?
·
What is the scientific question you
are trying to answer?
Hypothesis
·
Explain how you think your project
can demonstrate your purpose.
·
Make a prediction regarding the
outcome of your experiment.
·
State the results you are
predicting in measurable terms.
Procedure
·
Give a detailed explanation of how
you will conduct the experiment to test your hypothesis.
·
Be clear about the variables
(elements of the experiment that change to test your hypothesis) versus your
controls (elements of the experiment that do not change).
·
Be very specific about how you will
measure results to prove or disprove your hypothesis. You should include a
regular timetable for measuring results or observing the projects (for example,
every hour, every day, and every week).
·
Your procedure should be like a
recipe - Another person should be able to perform your experiment following
your procedure. Test this with a friend or parent to be sure you have not
forgotten anything.
Materials
·
List all materials and equipment
that were used.
·
Your list of materials should
include all of the ingredients of the procedure recipe.
Observations/Data/Results
·
Keep a detailed journal of
observations, data, and results. Your journal should contain data measurements
and written notes about what you are sensing (hearing, seeing, or touching)
about your experiment.
·
If appropriate, photograph your
project results or phases of the project to help your analysis and possibly to
demonstrate your experiment on your exhibit board.
Conclusion
·
Explain your observations, data,
and results. This is a summary of what your data has shown you.
Explain your observations, data,
and results. This is a summary of what your data has shown you.
·
List the main points that you have
learned.
·
Why did the results occur? What did
your experiment prove?
·
Was your hypothesis correct? Did
your experiment prove or disprove your hypothesis? This should be explained
thoroughly.
·
Answer your problem/purpose
statement.
·
What does it all add up to? What is
the value of your project?
·
What further study do you recommend
given the results of your experiment? What would be the next question to ask?
·
If you repeated this project, what
would you change?

Identify that organic compounds contain carbon
and other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen,
phosphorous, nitrogen, or sulfur
An organic compound is a chemical compound that contains carbon atoms. Organic compounds are found throughout the cell. Nutrients, such as protein, carbohydrates, and lipids are organic molecules. These nutrients molecules come from the food we eat.

Welcome to Academy for Academic Enhancement Middle School and to 7th Grade Honors Science. I, Mrs. E. Salinas, look forward to working with you to build upon and enrich your scientific skills and knowledge. We will be taking a "hands on" approach to the study of life science. We are here to learn and learning can be fun, however, to be successful in science hard work is required!
