Homework: Science Project
Instructions
The lab report may be submitted in any format: Video, PowerPoint (with notes pages as needed or screen capture as wanted), Word Document, et cetera, or any combination that would allow you to show not only the details of the experiment and data but what you have learned from doing it. Use your own words throughout. For each lab report you must:
1) Describe the purpose and hypothesis of the experiment. (What are you trying to prove or see?)
2) List or show the materials used. Remember to use proper safety equipment!
3) Describe the procedure. (Describe the steps of the experiment and what you did so that a classmate could replicate if they wanted.)
4) Describe and display the results. (What happened? Hint: Some of the data may be easier to show in charts or with graphics.)
5) Answer the following explanatory and interpretative questions:
a) Why do you think you achieved the results that you did?
b) Did anything unexpected happen?
c) Do the data or results support the hypothesis? Why? (Show using specific references to the data.)
