4
Background Research

• 3 paragraphs/bullet points which include
  sentences that will explain your ideas/questions
  help your class understand what is occurring in
  your experiment. It should start with an
  attention grabber to get the reader interested in
  your experiment.
• Refer to your research paper when needed.

Background Research Continued

• Delete this slide if you dont require more room!!

6
Research Question

• How does the (IV) affect the (DV)?

7
Hypothesis

• The hypothesis should be a statement that is
  related to the research question and should be an
  if/then/because statement.
• Pick one of the following templates to fill in
  your hypothesis
• It is hypothesized that there is a describe type
  of (positive, negative) correlation
  (relationship) between IV and DV because describe
  research that supports prediction.
• The hypothesis for this research project is that
  IV will cause a significant change in DV because
  describe research that supports prediction.
• If the IV describe how IV will change, then the
  DV will describe the effect because describe
  research that supports prediction.
• It is hypothesized that IV will result in DV
  because describe research that supports
  prediction.
• If IV and how it is changed then DV prediction
  because describe research that supports
  prediction.
• As the IV increases/decreases, the DV
  increases/decreases because describe research
  that supports prediction.

8
Variables

• The independent variable for the experiment was
  (list IV).
• The (3) levels of the independent variable were
• -
• -
• -
• The dependent variable for the experiment was
  (list DV) and was measured in/by (list metric
  units or scale used).

9
Variables

• Constants throughout the experiment were (list
  at least 4 constants)
• -
• -
• -
• -
• (If applicable)
• The control group for the experiment was (list
  control or describe the setup of the control).

10
Materials

• The materials should be listed, very specific,
  and aligned with the procedures. Include
  quantities. Make sure theyre in metric units.
  You may include pictures of your materials.

11
Methods

• Include any formulas, setting up procedures or
  creating of substances here that are not related
  to the actual testing for the experiment
• Also include safety guidelines and safety symbols.

12
Procedures

• Procedures should be listed step-by-step. You
  should be able to visualize the experiment as you
  read the procedures.
• Make sure you include the metric units or scale
  used!
• No personal pronouns.
• Remember to indicate how each level is being
  tested.
• Remember to indicate to repeat testing for each
  level (trials).
• You may include pictures or diagrams of the setup
  of materials.

Procedures continued

• Delete this slide if it is not needed
• Copy this slide if there are more procedures

14
Data Table

• You should have a clearly labeled data table for
  this section. (Copy and paste here from Excel or
  Word)
• If you have multiple tables use multiple slides.

15
Data Table Continued

• Delete slide if it is not needed
• Copy this slide if you have more data tables

16
Graph

• You should have a clearly labeled graph for this
  section. (Copy and paste here from Excel or Word)
• This graph can either include all levels of your
  IV or it can contain just Level 1 of your IV.
• Include one graph per slide.
• Rename title of this slide to relate to your
  graph.

17
Graph (Level 2 of IV)

• If not needed, delete this slide.
• If more graph slides are needed, copy this slide
  and rename the slide title

18
Provide title for scientific picture here

• Click icon above to add scientific picture.
• Include short explanations of pictures below in
  this text box.
• Copy this slide as needed.
• If not needed, delete this slide.

19
Scientific Pictures with Researcher

• Add the pictures of you the experiment here.
• Make sure there are not any slides besides this
  one with you in the picture!!
• This slide will be deleted when it is presented
  to the final judges.
• If not needed, delete this slide.

20
Discussion of Results

• The data showed that (using sentence format,
  describe the trend/relationships observed in your
  actual data). Use actual average data for each
  level of your IV if you had categories. Compare
  differences between averages. If something was
  measured over time, describe the trend of the
  line graph. Compare rates of change.

21
Discussion of Results

• Although the experiment was controlled, there
  were still some possible sources of error.
• The errors identified are
• -
• -
• -
• For the future, (state what may be changed to
  reduce or remove these errors)

22
Conclusion

• Analysis of the results revealed that (actual
  data (averages or rate of change)). The
  hypothesis was (supported or refuted).
• (If supported) This happened because (give
  explanation).
• (If refuted) This occurred because (give
  scientific reasons why if was refuted or wrong).

23
Application

• The results from this experiment (indicate how
  your results can impact or relate to real life
  situations. Who would care about this research
  and how would it influence them).

24
Future Research

• Future studies could focus on (future research
  question the effect of IV on DV).
• This could be tested by repeating the same
  experiment, except (briefly explain how it would
  be different).
• This would be useful to determine _____ because
  ______. (remove underlines and complete with your
  responses)

25
Future Research

• Another problem that could be investigated is
  (future research question the effect of IV on
  DV).
• This could be answered by (briefly explain)
• The implications of this research would be of
  interest to _____ (remove underlines and complete
  with your responses).

26
References

• Your references should include at least 3-5
  sources that support your research. This should
  include websites, books, magazines, periodicals
  etc.
• Must be in MLA format.
• Pictures and diagrams taken from the internet
  should be cited as well.

27
Abstract Use multiple slides if necessary.

• 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
  sentence only if refuted) This happened because
  (Scientific reason why based on research).
