PRESENTATION OUTLINE

TITLE FOR YOUR PROJECT

FIRST AND LAST NAME

PROBLEM

  • Write out the question you are testing.
Identify your independent variable (one thing you are changing) and dependent variable (what you are measuring

Question format examples:
What affect does (independent variable) have on (dependent variable)? Or How does (independent variable) affect (dependent variable)?

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

List the important facts from your research.
Use two slides with no more than 4-5 facts on each slide.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

HYPOTHESIS

A hypothesis is written like this: "If _______[this is done]_____, then ____[this will happen]_____."

If you identify your independent and dependent variables writing a hypothesis is easier. "If _____(independent variable)______, then _____(dependent variable)____."

MATERIALS

Create a detailed list of materials needed for your experiment.
You can use more than one slide if you need.
Remember to include amounts.
Not a numbered list (can have two columns).
Leave out brand names.

VARIABLES

*Independent Variable (the experimental variable-the one factor that you change).
*Dependent Variable (the factor that changes because of the independent variable- what you are measuring).
*Controlled Variable (all factors that cannot change that could influence the dependent variable - if these changed it could spoil the results).

PROCEDURES

*This part of the presentation may take up to 3 slides
*Detailed procedures are extremely important

GRAPH

A hypothesis is written like this: "If _______[this is done]_____, then ____[this will happen]_____."

If you identify your independent and dependent variables writing a hypothesis is easier. "If _____(independent variable)______, then _____(dependent variable)____."

Qualitative Data

*Change the layout to meet your needs (you may want a table, chart, or columns).
*You should have detailed observations (uses senses and descriptor words) in this section

Quantitative Data

*Change the layout to meet your needs (you may want a table, chart, or columns).
*REMEMBER: quantitative data is measurements and counts

Results (Analyze Data)

Calculate measure of central tendencies for the different trials of your experiment:

>Calculate the mean - average
>Calculate the mode- data that occurs most often
>Calculate the median-the middle value when
placed in order from high to low

Show these here and state what these say about your results. Talk about the data here. What did you find?

Conclusion

Describe in 1-2 slides what you discovered by conducting this experiment.
Did you results support or refute (not supported) your hypothesis?
Use your data to explain why your hypothesis is supported or refuted.
