Your answer
Hypothesis - using the information discovered through your research, construct an "If.... then...." statement that states your prediction for the outcome of your experiment. **For example: If plant growth is measured when plants are given different liquids, then water will be the liquid that causes the plant to grow the most. *

Your answer
My dependent (outcome) variable( What you are measuring) from Part 1 is: *
Your answer
My constant variables are: What MUST remain the same so that it does not affect the results of your experiment (some examples might include: room temperature, location, type or brand of material being used, etc.) *
Your answer
My control group is (control): The group that you will conduct 3 trials with that does not have any change for your independent variable - for example: if you are testing which liquid causes plants to grow the most, then your control group would be a plant that does NOT receive any liquids. You must still measure the results for your control group, as this is how you can prove that your independent variable causes a change to occur in your Results section & your Abstract! *
Your answer
List materials here: You must use include specific details - for example: if you are using plastic cups in your experiment, you should include information like 16 oz. Solo Brand red plastic cups (x4)). It is important to include specific details in your materials section and gather these specific materials yourself in order that other scientists can replicate (aka repeat) your experiment in the future and obtain (aka get) the same or similar results. This is a crucial step in the scientific method! *
