HYPOTHESIZE<br />
A hypothesis is a guess as to what will happen when<br />
you do an experiment. Look for books or information<br />
on the internet to learn about your experiment<br />
before you start. Write down what you think will<br />
be the result of your experiment.<br />
MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES<br />
You should be able to follow instructions to repeat<br />
a science experiment. Materials are the items you<br />
need to do the experiment. Procedures are the steps<br />
you follow. Write the materials you use and steps<br />
you follow.<br />
OBSERVE<br />
Observations provide an idea of how your experiment<br />
turns out. Record whatever you see during<br />
an experiment. Observe using your sense of sight,<br />
sound, touch, smell, and taste to gather the most<br />
information as possible. Remember to never smell,<br />
taste, or touch anything that your teacher does not<br />
approve. You can both write and draw what you<br />
see.<br />
DRAW CONCLUSIONS<br />
Conclusions are your ideas about why the experiment<br />
works—or does not work. Think about the<br />
steps taken and observations. Write what happened<br />
and why you think you came to your result.<br />
