Abstract
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 sentenceonly if refuted) This happened because(Scientific reason why based on research).
To further understand this topic, future research could include(List three research questions or possible experiments – How does the IV affect the DV? for each research question).
Prior Research
(Minimum of 5 sources. Refer to instructions on types of sources required. Copy and paste your prior research paper.)
Problem/Question
How does the (IV) affect the (DV)?
Hypothesis
If the (IV) affects the (DV), then (prediction).This will happen because(scientific reason why from your prior research).
Methods
(No Personal Pronouns, units of measurements should be included. All measurements should be in metric units.)
Safety: List safety guidelines and safety symbols
Materials: List materials. Remember to give quantity or measurement (metric) for each item.
Procedure:Number each step. Remember step by step instructions on what you will do. You may need to change steps as you progress through your experiment. Ultimately, you will have steps of what you actually did.
Results
(Create the Data Table and Graph using Excel. See detailed instructions.)
Data Table:(Data table will have its own page, if there is only one. If there is more than one, put them all on one page together.)
Graph:(Each graph gets its own page.)
Trends: (at least three sentences discussing the trend (tendency or pattern) observed in the experiment. Each trend is supported by the data and explained based on scientific concepts.)
Discussion of Results
(1st paragraph)
The problem being studied in this experiment was(Research Question). It was proposed that (Hypothesis). Prior research indicated that(Expected results).The data showed that (Actual average data for each level of your IV, in sentence format).These results are believed to have occurred because(Based on prior research).
(2nd paragraph)
Although the experiment was controlled, there were still some possible sources of error. These errors may cause the results of the experiment to not be valid or reliable. The errors identified are: (List three sources of error and how to avoid each of them in future.Minimum of 7 sentences).
Conclusion
Analysis of the results revealed that(Actual average data).The hypothesis was(supported or refuted).(If supported) This happened because (copy and paste explanation from hypothesis) (If REFUTED) How was your hypothesis incorrect? (Add scientific reasons why it was refuted).
Future Research
Future studies could focus on (Future research question).This could be tested by repeating the same experiment, except (briefly explain).This would be useful to determine ______ because ______.Another problem that could be investigated is (Future research question).This could be answered by (briefly explain).The implications of this research would be of interest to ______.
