4 3 2 1

Identifying the

Question

Independently

identified a guiding question and narrowed

it to a manageable

hypothesis to investigate.

Explained a guiding

question and related it to a hypothesis to

investigate.

With classroom

support, a guiding question was

developed.

No attempt was made to

identify a guiding question.

Stating the

Hypothesis

Independently

developed a hypothesis related to the guiding

question and research

completed. Included the

four components of a

hypothesis.

*Components explained in science fair packet.

Explained a hypothesis

related to the guiding question. Included

three components of a

hypothesis.

With classroom

support, the student created a hypothesis

and predicted an

outcome of their

experiment. Included

two components of a

hypothesis.

No hypothesis was

stated or only one component of a

hypothesis was created.

The student did not

predict an outcome for

their experiment.

Design of

Experiment

Independently designed

an experiment that

related to the hypothesis. Variables

were recognized and

the experiment was conducted at least three

times to test each of the

variables and the control.

Performed an

experiment related to

the hypothesis. Some variables were

recognized and the

experiment was conducted two times to

test each of the

variables and the control.

With classroom

support, the student

created a simple experiment related to

the hypothesis.

Variables were missing and/or the experiment

was not repeated.

A demonstration was

created instead of a

scientific method based experiment. Variables

were not clear or

missing. The experiment was not

repeated.

Collecting and

Recording Data

Student collected

multiple (at least 3 data points per variable)

accurate data points.

Data was used to summarize a conclusion

based on the

hypothesis. Student used precise data

collection method to

ensure accurate conclusion.

Student collected

multiple accurate data points. Data was used

to summarize a

conclusion based on the hypothesis.

With classroom

support, the student collected accurate data.

Data was collected only

two times. The data was used to create a

conclusion.

The data was not

recorded or the data was collected only one

time.

Drawing

Conclusions

The student provided a

detailed hypothesis-centered conclusion.

The conclusion was

based on the data collected throughout

the experiment.

The conclusion was

based on the data collected throughout

the experiment.

With classroom

support, the student created a conclusion

based on the data

recorded.

The conclusion was not

related to the data.

Display

Board

Each section on the

display board related directly to the

experiment. All items,

diagrams, graphs, etc. were neatly and

correctly labeled.

Each section on the

display board related directly to the

experiment. Most

items, diagrams, graphs, etc. were neatly

and correctly labeled.

Each section on the

display board related directly to the

experiment. Most

items, diagrams, graphs, etc. were

correctly labeled.

The display was

incomplete and/or had no clear plan. Many

labels were missing or

incorrect.

Guiding Question

State the specific question you are going to investigate.

Ask yourself: What do I want to know?

Bibliography

Directions: For the background information, you must cite at least three resources. The resources must consist of one book, one website, and one encyclopedia source.

Page 8: Science Fair Packet - Cherry Hills Village Elementarycherryhillsvillage.cherrycreekschools.org/Documents/Science Fair... · Science Fair Rubric 4 3 2 1 Identifying the Question Independently

Hypothesis Stating Your Hypothesis You will try to predict what might happen as a result of your investigation. Your hypothesis should be based on your previous knowledge and/or some research you‘ve already compiled. Your hypothesis can begin with “I think…” and must:

Identify the subject(s) of the investigation State what is being measured State the variable/condition of the investigation State the results expected

Example: I think mice raised on a diet of junk food will show lower body weights after 6 weeks than mice raised on a regular diet because of a lack of the necessary nutrients in the junk food. State your hypothesis:

Plan/Procedure Think about:

What will change or be affected as a result of your investigation? What variables do you need to control? How big should your sample size be? How will you measure your results? (counting, measuring, senses) How many times will you need to repeat the experiment to be sure

the results are accurate? What materials will you need to gather?

Independent Variable:

Your experiment has one variable that you will change to see if the results support or refute your hypothesis. What is the one variable you will change during the experiment?

Dependent Variable:

The dependent variable is the change that occurs as a result of doing the experiment. This variable is the measure of the change. How will you measure the change? Remember your measurements must be in numbers that can be put into a graph.

Page 10: Science Fair Packet - Cherry Hills Village Elementarycherryhillsvillage.cherrycreekschools.org/Documents/Science Fair... · Science Fair Rubric 4 3 2 1 Identifying the Question Independently

Sample Size:

What will your sample consist of? Example: 3 plants X 3 = 9 total plants

Repeated Investigation:

How many times will you repeat the experiment for accuracy?

Remember your experiment needs to be done at least 3 times.

Controlled Variable(s): Which variables will you control or keep the same during your experiment?

Materials: Include all items you will use from home and items that you will need to purchase. What tool(s) will you need to measure the change of your experiment?

Plan/Procedure Flow Map

Use this space to create a FLOW MAP showing the step-by-step procedures that one would follow to complete this experiment. Think about how to best give the steps to someone who has never seen your experiment so that it could be easily repeated without questions. BE SPECIFIC and DETAILED.

Plan for Data Collection

Collect and analyze your data: Keep a record of results in this packet on the Data Log

sheets. Decide how you will share your data (type of graph),

charts, or diagrams. Decide how often to collect data. (Remember to repeat

at least 3 times!) Keep a record of any changes that you needed to make

due to problems that may have occurred with the experiment.

1. How will you collect your data? _____________________________________________________________

2. How long? ______________________________________ 3. How often? ______________________________________ 4. How will you share your data on your display board? _____________________________________________________________

5. What type of graph is best for your information? (Bar, Line, Pie) ________________________________________________ 6. What other type of visual aids will you use to help others see the process of your experiment?

Claim and Evidence

Claim/Evidence/Reasoning: Interpret results and make a claim.

- Data collected and observations are used as evidence to make a claim, which is an answer to your question.

- A claim is a deduction, pattern, or finding as a result of completing the experiment.

Evidence is what supports the claim. - State why the data counts as evidence to support the claim.

Claim: (I claim…)
