*** Energy Bonus Project ***

*** Energy Bonus Project ***

1. You are going to complete a Science Project/Demo/Experiment at home.

2. Use the Scientific Method, like we use in class, as a guide for your project.
a. Title
b. Problem
c. Hypothesis
d. Materials
e. Procedure
f. Results (Graph your results!)
g. Analysis (Independent Variable, Dependent Variable, Constants)
h. Conclusion

3. Do your project on a display board, power point, or google slides.

4. Include pictures of your project and pictures of yourself working on it.

5. This is a solo project; we will work on other projects with partners in the future.

I suggest using the following website:
