Title/Titulo Creative Header that relates to your problem statement. Escoge un título que describe lo que estás estudiando. El título debe resumir lo que cubrirá la investigación

Problem Statement/El Problema It is the question that you will investigate. It can be written as follows: Does different color light affect the way plants grow? or Which Cleaner cleans stains the most? ¿Qué quieres descubrir? Escribe una frase describiendo lo que quieres hacer. Usa tus observaciones y preguntas para escribir la declaración.

Variables There are three types of variables: Manipulated Variable : what you change on purpose for your experiment. Responding variable : what changes by itself because you changed something in your experiment. Variables Held Constant : everything in your experiment that was kept the same to make it FAIR for each.

Hypothesis/Hipotesis A hypothesis states what you think is going to happen when you investigate a question. It must be an If … then statement. Here is an example: Question: Does different color light affect the way plants grow? A hypothesis states what you think is going to happen when you investigate a question. It must be an If … then statement. Here is an example: Question: Does different color light affect the way plants grow? Una conjetura sobre lo que tu piensas que sea la respuesta a tu pregunta. Ejemplo: Puedes decir que piensas que el jabon “x” limpia mejor las manchas de salsa de tomate.

Materials/Materiales List all materials used in your experiment. Include what, how much, and what kind of materials are used. Keep in mind that quantities are important. Be sure to only use metric units. Haz una lista de los articulos utilizados y la cantidad necesaria. Es importante que usan unidades metricos. List all materials used in your experiment.

Procedures/ Procedimientos Your step by step directions are like a recipe. Anyone who reads them will be able to duplicate your experiment and get the same results. Haz una lista y enumera los pasos y el orden que seguiste. Repite el experimento varias veces (por lo menos tres veces) para estar seguro de los resultados.

Data/Datos Graph and/or Chart that displays results of experiment. Haz una grafica o tabla para exponer tus datos.

Data/Datos Number of Trial 1Trial 2Trial 3 Average

Results/ Resultados Summarize your data (graphs and charts) in a paragraph form. Write about ALL the results, not just the winner. Interpreta los datos. Escribe sobre todos los resultados. Summarize your data (graphs and charts) in a paragraph form. Write about ALL the results, not just the winner. Interpreta los datos. Escribe sobre todos los resultados.

Conclusion/Conclusiones Conclusion : (state whether your hypothesis was correct or incorrect and whether or not you would change your hypothesis. “The data collected did not support the original hypothesis. The plant that was under the RED light did NOT grow taller. My revised hypothesis is that a plant will grow taller under a yellow light.” Conclusiones: las conclusiones deben empezar con una afirmacion que explique si los resultados apoyaron o no a la hipotesis. Ejemplo: El jabon “x” quito la mancha en 20 minutos, mientras que el jabon “y” tardo 40 minutos en quitar la mancha.

Application/ Aplicacion The Application explains how the results of your experiment will help people in the real world. Las aplicaciones: Puedes decir por que este experimento era importante o como tu descubrimiento puede ser util a otros.

Abstract & Bibliography/ Resumen y Bibliografia The Abstract (summary) is a one page summary of all ten parts of your experiment, including, and starting from the TITLE and ending with the APPLICATION. The bibliography is the format used to reference where you got your background information. List all books, magazines, and websites you used to find your background information. El resumen debe incluir el proposito, el procedimiento y los resultados en forma de parrafo. La bibliografia es una lista de todos los libros, las revistas, las entrevistas u otras fuentes informativas que haya utilizado.
