Writing A Science Report

Gilbert Said:

what should a science fair written report look like?

We Answered:

The Scientific Method is an organized way of figuring something out.

There are usually six parts to it.

1. Purpose- What do you want to learn? An example would be, "Do plants grow better under different colored lights?" or "Do girls have faster reflexes than boys?"

2. Research- Find out as much as you can. Look for information in books, on the internet, and by talking with teachers to get the most information you can before you start experimenting.

3. Hypothesis- After doing your research, try to predict the answer to the problem. Another term for hypothesis is 'educated guess'. This is usually stated like " If I...(do something) then...(this will occur)"
An example would be, "If I grow plants under green lightbulbs, then they will grow better than plants growing under red lightbulbs"

4. Experiment- The fun part! Design a test or procedure to confirm or disprove your hypothesis. In our example, you would set up a plant under a green lightbulb and a plant under a red light and observe then for a couple of weeks. Also set up a plant under regular white light to compare the others to. If you are doing this for a science fair, you will probably have to write down exactly what you did for your experiment step by step.

5. Analysis- Record what happened during the experiment. Also known as 'data'.

6. Conclusion- Review the data and check to see if your hypothesis was correct. If the plant under the green lightbulb grew better, you proved your hypothesis, if not, your hypothesis was wrong. It is not "bad" if your hypothesis was wrong, because you still learned something!

Colleen Said:

How do I write a Science report?

We Answered:

Well a report .. have a nice intro about what you're gonna talk about (alex g bell e.g.)

Have some subheadings example..Early life, Achievements, inventions something like that, kinda like the structure of wikipedia

then conclude it, maybe how he revolutionised the technology world and how his invention is still being used today..

good luck chuck ^^

im writing a science report and i need help?

We Answered:

well we just learned that at my school about a week ago. all i know is what u probabaly know, it reflects into the night sky and that it can be avoided by pointing lights to the ground. im afraid i cant help too much except saying that light bulbs that use less (im not sure but..) sodium chloride. anyways, something like that helps reduce it. sorry i couldnt help you out much. now write that baby and get an A.
