Project OverviewWhat special background knowledge is needed to understand your experiment?

Remember that should be in bullet format and should have just short phrases that remind you of what you need to say during this slide.

YOU SHOULD NOT BE READING SLIDES!!!  

Background Research

Summarize your background research here in three to five bullet points:1st bullet point2nd bullet point3rd bullet point4th bullet point5th bullet point

These are simple summary sentences related to your background research. Your points should not be longer than 15 words each.

Remember you should tell us about your independent variable and your dependent variable.

Imagine that we have no idea what you are presenting to us, make it simple, clear, and to the point.

Identified Variables• Controlled variables: This is the scenario you used as your comparison. (if your experiment did not have a control explain why)...THESE ARE NOT CONSTANTS!!

• Independent variable: The one variable that you purposely change and test.

• Dependent variable: The measure of change observed because of the independent variable. It is important to decide how you are going to measure the change.

HypothesisBased on the research you have done, you will be writing an answer or

solution – your best educated guess – to your question. Make sure you write down your hypothesis before you begin your experiment.
