Name Title (Of Your Experiment) : A. Example "Can You Determine The Acidity of Common Substances?"

This document provides a template for writing a science experiment report with the following key sections: introduction with question and background; hypothesis; procedure; results in tables/charts without explanation; analysis/conclusion to explain results, evaluate hypothesis, discuss limitations and improvements. The introduction states the purpose and background. The hypothesis predicts the outcome. The procedure explains how to repeat the experiment. The results report numbers without analysis. The analysis evaluates and explains results, the hypothesis, and ways to improve. Grammar and spelling affect the grade. Reports missing sections may fail.

NAME
TITLE (OF YOUR EXPERIMENT)

1. QUESTION
State the general purpose of your experiment.
A. Example Can you determine the acidity of common substances?
i. Usually 1 or 2 sentences after your question stating:
1. What you will attempt to accomplish
2. Any general knowledge you have on the issue

2. HYPOTHESIS
A. This is your educated guess on the outcome of your experiment
i. Example I think orange juice will have a pH of 7.
ii. It does not have to be accurate, just what you think will be the outcome of the
experiment
iii. 1-2 sentences depending on what you are evaluating
1. This does not mean ONLY 1-2 sentences. You must hypothesize the
outcome of your experiment**

3. PROCEDURE
A. How you are going to proceed.
i. This MUST be repeatable. The hallmark of any lab is that your results are
repeatable.
ii. Imagine you are telling someone how to do the lab over the phone. You can
show them so you must tell them in detail
iii. It is acceptable to have a list, and short sentences or instructions
iv. NEEDS to be specific

4. RESULTS
A. Charts/ / Tables
i. NOT a paragraph.
ii. Results are strictly the numbers/outcomes of the experimental procedures.
1. Keep standard units
2. Example: do not record in miles, then feet, then inches.
iii. DO NOT explain the results in this section, it is strictly for reporting results.
1. Explanations are done in the analysis/conclusion section

5. ANYLISIS /CONLUSION
A. Present your findings from the experiment
i. Here you will explain your results
B. Evaluate the results of the experiment against your hypothesis
i. How accurate was your initial hypothesis?
C. Discuss discrepancies with your results/ possible problems with the lab
i. Example I may have misreported certain pH values because multiple solutions
were tested at the same time.
D. Infer improvements that could yield better results
i. Example in future experiments solutions should be tested one at a time to
improve accuracy and avoid mistakes.

IMPORTANT POINT TO KEEP IN MIND

-SPELLING AND GRAMMAR COUNT TOWARDS YOUR GRADE.

-PROCEDURES AND RESULTS SECTIONS ARE THE ONLY ONES


THAT DO NOT REQUIRE FULL SENTENCES.

-ANY REPORT THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN THESE SECTIONS WILL


BE REJECTED OR RECEIVE A FAILING GRADE AT MY DISCRETION.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
