Conclusion
Compare your results and hypothesis. Decide if your hypothesis is right or wrong. Tell what you decide.

conclusion
the answer to your question; a summary of what you have learned from an experiment

control group
part of an experiment that does not contain a variable; all conditions are kept normal; used as a COMPARISON

Data
Organize into charts, tables, drawing, and diagrams. You can decide what the information means.

data and results

A summary of the data you have collected (graphs, tables, charts, photos, etc.); all your observations from the
experiment

data table

example of a Hypothesis
If the amount of water is more, then the sound will be lower when the bottle is tapped.

example of a problem
How does the amount of water in a bottle affect the sound made when the bottle is tapped?

example of Conclusion
The more water in the bottle the lower the sound.
 example of Experiment
Tap each bottle with a spoon.

Example of Variable
Use four bottles of the same size. Leave the first bottle empty. Put a little water in the second bottle. Fill the third bottle
halfway. Fill the fourth bottle almost full with water.

examples of Data analysis

Empty bottle means high sound, a little water means lower sound, half full means ever lower sound, and full means
lowest sound.

Experiments
Test your hypothesis. You may need to do this step more than once to see if the results are the same each time.

Hypothesis
Tell what you think is the answer to the problem

hypothesis
A testable statement that is used to solve a scientific problem

Problem
The question you want to answer. Inquiry has led to many discoveries in science. Ask your question.

problem
always in form of a question; the question we are trying to answer by doing the experiment
scientific method
a series of steps that scientists use to answer questions and solve problems

variable
factor in an experiment that a scientist purposely changes; changed to test the hypothesis
