A Science project is: Something researched and investigated ▪ Answers a question or finds a solution ▪ to a problem Must be tested and reproduced with the ▪ same results 5
A Science project is NOT : Something that can be answered ▪ through Google A basic Volcano ▪ Using someone else's project and ▪ claiming as your own 6
A Science project has: A Focus Question- Well researched question ▪ about a problem or issue. A Hypothesis- A proposed explanation made ▪ off of limited evidence for further investigation Research - At least 5 respected sources cited ▪ Data- Tracked data and investigation through ▪ charts, graphs, and journaling 7
A Science project also has: Science Journal- To keep track of your ▪ progress, data, and investigations Bibliography- Don’t plagiarize! Cite your sources. ▪ Knightcite.com, easybib.com MLA or APA Citations Summary- 1 page summarizing your project ▪ Rough Draft- Double check your work and ▪ make corrections Final Draft ▪ 8
