Science Investigations

Your Experiment

Use these questions to write about the experiment in your science book.

  • What are you trying to find out? What are you investigating?
  • What are you going to use? Drawing a picture might help.
  • What are you going to do? Is this a fair way of seeing what happens? Think carefully about this.
  • What do you need to measure or look out for? Think about how you will record what you measure or what you see. You might find it useful to write your results in a table.
  • What do you expect to happen? What do you think you will see? Why do you think this?

 

Carry out the experiment

 

  • What did you see? Was it what you expected? Can you see any patterns in what you saw or what you measured?
  • What have you found out? Can you explain what you have found out?
  • If you did the experiment again would you do anything differently? Could you make it more accurate?
