Problem/Question A statement of the problemBasically, the
question you are asking Do the phases of the moon effect the amount
of rainfall?
Hypothesis IF I do this THEN we think this will happen
BECAUSE
Abstract(200-250 words)A summarization of the key points and an
overview of how the investigation was conducted.An abstract does
not give details about the materials used unless it greatly
influenced the procedure or had to be developed to do the
investigation.Only include procedures by a student
Data Charts, graphs, tables, picturesAt least one graph is
requiredIt is recommended you also include a data table. If you
have a lot of data, only include averagesProceduresDetailed list of
steps needed to perform the experiment. This list is in PRESENT
TENSE not PAST TENSE. Dont say #1. We did. Say #1. First do
thisMust be in a numbered list formatMaterials A list of the
materials required for your experiment.You must include amounts and
units (mL, km, grams, etc.)VariablesIndependent and Dependent
VariablesConstants/ControlsAll of the elements of the project you
are keeping the sameResults This section should provide key results
that lead directly to the conclusions you have drawn.It should not
give too many details about the results nor include tables or
graphsThis section is the description of your observations of the
resultsDuring my experiment, I observedApproximately 1
paragraph
ConclusionsConclusions from investigations should be described
briefly.The summary paragraph should reflect on the process and
possibly state some applications and extensions of the
investigationBased on our results, we concluded that our hypothesis
was correct/incorrect.. and If we did this again or to further test
this hypothesis we would
Applications1 small paragraph that explains the practical
applications of your project. Use what you wrote in your research
paper to help you with this paragraph. PhotographsMust have a
minimum of two pictures. No faces can be included.Captions are
recommendedMust credit each photo, saying who took it or where you
retrieved it from.If you cannot take photographs, please include
diagrams or relevant pictures. Other display board rules and tips:
Be sure to credit all photographs. (Put a label on the board
somewhere that says Photos taken by)Photographs should not include
faces of individuals other than you. Do not include any edible
items on your board. Do not include any small objects that may fall
off your board. Items on display with your project, but not
attached to the board, must be approved by your Science teacher and
Mrs. Leone. Ex. Samples of the experiment or any technology.
Label (Pg 39)All boards must have this label with your name and
information filled out. To determine the category your project is
in, refer to pages 40-42 in your workbook.
Other suggestions from meAll font should be no larger than 16pt
and no smaller than 12 pt in order to be legible.Do not use fonts
or headers that make it difficult to read.Use cardstock instead of
construction paper if possible. Paste the computer print outs on
the cardstock to make a border around each item. Use rubber
cementCut in straight linesUse contrasting and attractive colors.
Avoid colors that strain your eyes.
