Your
Slideshow should include the following information, following your Title/Heading Slide:
1) Introduction
In this slide, explain your problem or
question. Why did you choose this problem? Where did you get the
idea? What was your purpose?
2) Hypothesis
In this section, state your
hypothesis. Why did you make this hypothesis? Use an if/then/because (Remember: Your hypothesis is “a best
guess based upon your observations.”)
3) Materials and Methods
In this section, please give a list
of your materials. You may simply
list your materials in a “bulleted
list.” Include PICTURES!!!
4) Procedure
Write the step by step process of what you did in the lab here. Include PICTURES!!
4) Procedure
Write the step by step process of what you did in the lab here. Include PICTURES!!
4) Results
In this section, explain what
happened in your experiment. Use charts, graphs, data tables, pictures of your results, etc. On your graph, make sure to label the
following: title, x-axis, y-axis, and units.
5) Conclusion
What did you learn? Was
your hypothesis right or wrong? What could you do next with this
experiment? Is there another experiment
that could follow this one?”
6) Additional
Research
How is this science
related? What new information have you
gained/learned? How could this help you
in real life? Explain the overall significance of your science fair project and
how your experiment relates to the world. Where is the science in your project? Explain your results.
7)
Bibliography
List any books,
websites, magazines, journals or other sources you used for your research or
experimentation.
***Proofread the
entire Slideshow with a parent, sibling, friend, another teacher, or ME!!!; editing content, grammar mistakes and
punctuation is important. ***
