2. Begin a Journal to write down everything you do, observe, and think during your investigation.
3. Do Research on the topic of your question.
4. Form a Hypothesis about what you think the answer to your question will be.

6. Construct a Chart to help you Collect and Organize your Data.
7. Fill out you Science Project Proposal and sign it. The have your teacher and parents sign it too! Do this before you actually do the steps of your procedure.
8. Follow the step-by-step directions of your procedure and Record your data onto your chart.
9. Summarize the Results of your testing in a Written Summary.

11. Write a Conclusion statement which either restates your hypothesis (if it is supported) or revises it (if it is not supported).
12. Write a Science Project Report that summarizes your investigation.
13. Construct your Science Project Display.
