                                    Phase 4 – Writing a Report

Materials:
     •    Notebook
     •    Handout: Science Fair Guide – Resources for Students

Instructions:
•   Paste and complete today’s handout in your notebook
•   Read pages 55 and 56 of your Science Fair Guide and answer the following questions.

    1. What does the written report represent? It represents your ideas and conclusions
         about your project, so you will want to make sure that it is well thought out and
         neatly prepared.

    2. Before you begin to write your report, what questions should you ask yourself?

            •   How did you first decide on your idea?
            •   What was your favorite aspect of the experiment?
            •   What was something new that you learned?
            •   What was something unexpected that happened?
            •   What were the ups and downs of the whole process?
            •   What did your data show?
            •   What would you do differently next time?

    3. What is an outline? It is a framework of what is going to go inside the report.

    4. What should you include at the beginning of your report? Why? Any background
         information that a reader would need to understand your project.

    5. What information should you include with your charts and graphs? Always title and label
         your figures, and, if possible, write a sentence telling what they illustrate.
