Science Experiment Project:
Final Assignment Instructions
The purpose of this project is to
allow you to utilize the process skills that you have learned to design and
carry out a scientific investigation. By actually conducting an experiment, you
have the opportunity to make observations, classify variables, measure changes,
predict results, infer causes of results, and communicate findings.
Each
experiment should include:
·
A
title
A
literature review, with citations, that shows the content an educator
would teach to the students to allow them to form a hypothesis. Define and
discuss the variables in this section.
A
full description of the experimental design. This should include a
detailed list of exact materials and a procedure that one could use to
repeat or replicate the experiment.
·
A
hypothesis stated in if/then format
·
A
listing of all variables (labeled as independent, dependent, and control)
·
A
log of observations,
·
A
graph of results
·
Conclusions
based on the log of observations and graph of results. Based on the data, discuss whether or not the hypothesis was
correct or incorrect and why.
For
this assignment, you will submit a final paper that includes the information
from your Science Experiment Project Proposal (with corrections, if any) (both orginal and annotatied documents are attacherd)and
the following additional information:
Experiment/Investigation
Plan
Data
Collection: (actually do the experiment)
Log
of Observations:
Graph
of Results:
Inference/Conclusion:
Although there is no minimum length
requirement, all areas must be thoroughly addressed. Review the Science Experiment Project: Final Grading Rubric
to ensure you include all required information.
Note:
Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism
tool.
