Today students received a copy of the science project binder requirements. See below. Science Project binders and backboards (or PowerPoints) are due Dec. 6, 2010. We also began a lesson on ecological succession. Please write the definition of ecological succession onto page 33 of your interactive notebook.
The following sections are typed, double spaced and secured in a clean binder or folder:
a. Title page, which should include your topic/title, your name, school, city, state, and zip code.
b. Table of contents
c. Purpose and Hypothesis- the purpose is a statement of what you plan to do. The hypothesis is the educated guess or prediction of what you think the outcome of your experiment will be.
d. Acknowledgements – in this section you identify people who have helped you.
e. Review of literature – this is your research paper
f. Procedures- in this section provide a numbered, step-by-step explanation of how you will conduct your experiment. If necessary, include drawings to help clarify your procedures.
g. Results – in this section you describe the outcome of your experiment and the data collected. This section should include the data tables you used to record your data and the graph(s) you’ve made using that data.
h. Conclusion- in this section you will remind the reader of your purpose and hypothesis and then indicate whether or not your results support your hypothesis.
i. Bibliography – list at least five sources (i.e., books, encyclopedias, reliable websites) you used to research your topic. Use MLA format (www.easybib.com).
