Science Fair Project Assignment #1 Name: _____________________ Problem Statement Due: November 8th, 2013 3pts Show me what you’ve got! It’s time to write your own problem statement on the lines below. It is important that your parents review your problem statement before you turn it in. Remember that the problem statement must be in the form of a question and should not be answered by a simple “yes” or “no.” After you have filled this paper out, turn it in to teacher for approval. Your science teacher MUST approve your experiment before you begin testing. Remember to stick to the rules in your handbook. (If a project is not picked and approved by November 8th, 2013, a project will be selected for you. This is a project I REALLY want to work on, once I get approved, I’m starting right away: Problem statement: ______________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Independent variable (what you’re changing and/or testing):____________________________________ Control group (making it fair): _______________________________________________________ Dependent variable (how will you measure this?): ____________________________________________ Teacher Approval: _____Yes, go for it! _____No, try your alternate Teacher’s Signature _____________________________ Ok, if I don’t get my first choice, I’d like to work on this project: Problem statement: ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Independent variable (what you’re changing and/or testing):____________________________________ Control group (making it fair): _______________________________________________________ Dependent variable (how will you measure this?): ____________________________________________ Teacher Approval: _____Yes _____No, try your next alternate Third time’s a charm!

Science Project Ideas- These ideas are here for you to brainstorm on your project. Some questions may need to be modified to fit the Scientific Method model for your project. What type of food wrapping best prevents evaporation x or y?

(write in the different type of food wrapping for the x or y)

How do differences in surfaces affect the adhesion of tape? Which type of batteries (same size, new) last longer,

rechargeable batteries, alkaline batteries or lithium batteries?

How do different factors affect seed germination? Factors that

you could test include the intensity, duration, or type of light, the temperature, the amount of water, the presence/absence of certain chemicals, or the presence/absence of soil. You can look at the percentage of seeds that germinate or the rate at which seeds germinate.

Is a seed affected by its size? Do different size seeds have

different germination rates or percentages? Does seed size affect the growth rate or final size of a plant?

How does the amount of seeds planted affect plant growth?

(How do you know if there is such a thing as plants overcrowding?)

How does cold storage affect the germination of seeds? Factors

you can control include the type of seeds, length of storage, temperature of storage, and other variables, such as light and humidity.

How are different soils affected by erosion? You can make your

own wind or water and evaluate the effects on soil. If you have access to a very cold freezer, you can look at the effects of freeze and thaw cycles.

What is the effect of a chemical on a plant? You can look at

natural pollutants (e.g., motor oil, runoff from a busy street) or unusual substances (e.g., orange juice, baking soda). Factors that you can measure include rate of plant growth, leaf size, life/death of the plant, color of plant, and ability to flower/bear fruit.

Under what kind of light do plants grow best, neon light,

fluorescent light or sunlight? Independent variable: kind of light Controlled variables: kind of plant, location, moisture, kind of soil, size of plot Dependent variable: height of plant

Do plants grow at different rates when given different plant foods? How does salt water affect plant growth? How does the depth of the ocean affect its temperature? Does light effect the rate at which foods spoils?

What effect do additives have on the crystals? You could add food coloring, flavoring, or other “impurities” What conditions affect the ripening of fruit? Look at ethylene and enclosing fruit in a sealed bag, temperature, light, or nearness to other pieces of fruit. How do heart rates differ when working out with a video, video game console or personal trainer? How do different kinds of music affect heart rate? How does temperature affect how high a ball bounces? How does the size/material/weight of a ball affect how high it bounces? (choose only ONE variable) How do pH levels in soil affect plant growth? How does gravity affect the direction in which plants grow? How much mass can a helium-filled balloon lift? How does the color of a car affect how hot it gets on a sunny day? How do tinted windows regulate the amount of heat entering a home or car? How does a person’s body temperature vary throughout the day? What factors make an electromagnet stronger? Which glue can hold the most weight, super glue, cement glue or school glue? How does temperature affect the rate at which paint dries? How does temperature affect the life of a battery?

Independent variable: temperature Controlled variables: kind/size of battery, item that runs on battery, length of time battery will be kept at each temperature Dependent variable: length of time the battery will operate on the same item

What fruit can produce the most electricity?

Independent variable: type of fruit Controlled variables: size of fruit, same light bulb, same length of wires Dependent variable: amount of electricity produced

To what extent does a fan equalize the temperature in a room? What is the difference in the transpiration rates (loss of water)

of tropical plants and desert plants? How can you find out if the vitamins humans use are good for

plants?

Background Information and Bibliography Due: December 2, 2013 20 pts

Alright! You have been approved for your problem statement. Now what? You need to focus on the background information for your project. The background information portion of your paper will be included in your final written report. At this time it is also due for a writing grade. Directions: The background information is a comprehensive written summary (3 or more paragraphs) based on your topic. Your topic was already determined by your teacher from your problem statement selection. If you have multiple topics, you may choose one topic or do one paragraph on each topic). This summary is NOT A COPY of something you find in the web or in a book/magazine (this is called plagiarism and will earn you an unsatisfactory grade). You also need to tell me where you found your information. In the back of this paper you will be able to list this information in the form of a bibliography. Remember to use the bibliography format page that your teacher gave you for the correct format of the bibliography. You need at least 3 sources. The bibliography is also graded- 5 correctly written citations will earn you an A, points will be taken off for not writing the sources in the correct format. An incomplete bibliography will result in an unsatisfactory grade. 10pts

Science Fair Project Assignment #3 Name: _____________________ Hypothesis, Materials List and Variables Due: November 19, 2013 13pts

The hypothesis is a prediction, or educated guess, of what the outcome of the experiment you are doing will be. It must be stated with specific facts about the study being done. You should state the conditions that will be in place during your experiment. What do you think will happen? “If I do this, then (I think) this will happen.” What you learned as you developed your background information will help you formulate your hypothesis. Remember, the hypothesis is an educated guess, not a wild guess. Here is an example: Problem statement: Does chewing gum increase or decrease the mass of a piece of gum? Hypothesis: I hypothesize that if five pieces of gum are chewed for 10 minutes, then all five pieces will have a greater mass than before they were chewed. Problem Statement:

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hypothesis: 2 pts

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After formulating a hypothesis, you should write down all the materials and supplies you will need in order to carry out the experiment. Remember to include everything you need for the experiment itself. Do NOT include materials you will need for the display board or written report. Also, include specific amounts needed for each item listed. Finally, the materials should be written in a vertical list and should NOT be numbered. It is important that your parents review your materials list to make sure that they are able to provide all the supplies and materials you will need for your experiment.

13

HINTS: • Try to include exact measurements when listing materials

o Be a true scientist- Use the metric system • Don’t forget to include measuring tools • List any safety equipment such as gloves or goggles • Include brand names if needed • Make sure you get enough materials for three trials of your experiment

Here is example of an unacceptable materials list and how it should be presented to your teacher Unacceptable Materials List L Acceptable Materials List J 1. bubble solution, 2. graduated cylinder, 3. straws, 50 mL of bubble solution 4. trash bag, 5. masking tape, 6. ruler 50 mL graduated cylinder 5 plastic drinking straws 2- 20 liter plastic trash bags masking tape metric ruler (over 30 cm) Materials list: 5 pts

Science Fair Project Assignment #4 Name: __________________________ Procedure Due: December 6th 2013 5pts

After creating the materials list, the procedure for carrying out the experiment should be written. This is a step-by-step listing of the instructions that must be done in order to carry out the experiment. The procedure is always written in a numbered list. It is important that the procedure be written so that someone else can perform the experiment exactly as you did. The procedure should be written so that you are giving someone else directions on the steps that should be followed. Do not give irrelevant details on what you did to carry out the experiment. Finally make sure your directions include repeating the experiment at least three times. Unacceptable Procedures L

1. I got all the stuff I needed 2. I poured some water in a bowl 3. I stuck some Bounty paper towels in the

bowl and let it soak the water 4. I took out the paper towel from the bowl 5. I used a cooking measurement thing to see

what was left over 6. I wrote down what was left over in my

notebook for the science project 7. I repeated these steps for a sponge 8. I also repeated this a few more times

Acceptable Procedures J 1. Gather all materials. 2. Pour 50 mL of water in a medium sized bowl 3. Submerge 2 Bounty paper towels in the bowl

for 5 minutes 4. Remove Bounty paper towels from bowl

without spilling any excess water out 5. Pour water remaining in the bowl into the

graduated cylinder 6. Measure how much water was left over and

record data 7. Repeat steps 2-6 for a congruent piece of

Sham Wow rag

8. Repeat the steps 2-7 three times

_____________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ How are you going to measure this information?

• Time? (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks) • Length, height, width or distance? (millimeters, centimeters, meters, kilometers) • Mass? (grams, kilograms) • Capacity? (milliliters or liters) • Other? (amount of leaves, how many items are left over, what did not get picked up by a

magnet, strength of a color, fraction of item cleaned of covered by an item, the possibilities are endless)

This is a good time to start thinking about your measurement procedures and how you’ll present you data. In the lines below tell me the measurement units for your data along with an explanation on how you’ll record this data (journal, data table, charts, pictures and graphs). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Science Fair Project Assignment #5 Name: __________________________ Designing a Data Table Due: December 16, 2012 3pts Completed Tables and Graphs Due: December 16, 2012 10pts

After you have written your materials list (assignment 3) and procedure (assignment 4), and you have identified all your variables (assignment 3) you are ready to begin experimenting! A data table is a good way to show your experiment results in an organized way. Creating a data table is simple if you keep in mind 3 things: 1) the Dependent variable; 2) the Independent variable; and 3) at least three trials and an average should be reflected on the table. You should also remember that the Independent variable is located on the vertical columns of the data table and the Dependent variable is located in the horizontal rows of the data table. Example: Jeff is doing an experiment where he will find out what material will absorb the most

water. Dependent variable: the amount of water each material will absorb in mL Independent variable: type of material

Analyze the table below to see how the variables were used to create headings for the columns and rows. (You do not have to use or do anything to this table- this is just an example).

Amount of Water Material Absorbed Paper Towel Cotton Towel Sponge 1st Try 2nd Try 3rd Try Average

(Dependent variable becomes the table’s title using a unit of measurement if possible)

Independent Variable 1 Independent Variable 2 Independent Variable 3 1st Try Dependent variable on 1st try using a

unit of measurement if possible Dependent variable on 1st try using a unit of measurement if possible

Dependent variable on 1st try using a unit of measurement if possible

Your Data Table The next step for your experiment is to design the data table where you collect and gather the results of your experiment while you are experimenting. You do not need to fill out the table if you are not done experimenting yet. In your next assignment you’ll be asked for a complete data table and graph. 3pts

**Completed tables and graphs are due on a separate sheet of paper by December 16, 2013

10pts You need to bring these to class in order to write your Results and Conclusions as a class work assignment. Science Fair Project Assignment #6 Name: __________________________

19

Results and Conclusion Due: December 19, 2013 13pts Results 5pts Interpret the data. Think about what you are learning from the data. State your findings of the experiment based upon the data you observed and analyzed in paragraph form. You should write comparative statements about your data rather than simply stating what is on your data table. Use words and/or phrases like more than, less than, twice as much, less than half, etc. Be sure to include a statement about some interesting or unexpected results in one of more of the trials.

Your conclusions should begin with a statement of whether or not the results supported your hypothesis. Your conclusion should also answer the problem statement in paragraph form. Include a sentence that describes what could have affected your results. Do not blame anyone for the errors; just describe the errors. Add any new ideas you have to improve this experiment. Finally, include a sentence that may lead to new experiments. The following is a framed paragraph you may choose to use when writing a conclusion.

In conclusion, my hypothesis was (supported or not supported). Write a complete sentence to answer the problem statement. The results could have been affected by ---. In the future, I will (ideas for improving this project). It would be interesting to see if (new experiment idea).

Science Fair Project Assignment #7 Name: __________________________ Abstract, Application and Acknowledgements Due: December 19, 2013 17pts Your abstract is a summary of your project. It usually follows your title page in your written report. This summary includes three paragraphs:

1. Purpose: Your purpose is basically your problem statement, but it is written in the form of a declarative sentence. The hypothesis is also stated, but it is written in the past tense.

2. Procedure: The procedure is written in complete sentences and using transitional words such as first, second, next, then, finally, etc. The procedure is also written in the past tense since it is a summary of what you have already done.

3. Conclusion: Your conclusion can be copied as it is from your project. The following is a suggested frame for writing your abstract: The purpose of this project is to find out (problem statement is rephrased into a declarative sentence.) It is hypothesized that (restate your hypothesis – remember to write it in an if__, then__ statement format). In order to test my hypothesis I carried out various steps. First I (write your first step in a complete sentence). Then I (continue to write one sentence for each step in your procedure using your transitional words to go from step to step or in this case from sentence to sentence.) In conclusion, my hypothesis was (supported or not supported). Write a complete sentence to answer the problem statement. The results could have been affected by ---. In the future, I will (ideas for improving this project). It would be interesting to see if (new experiment idea). 12pts
