Grades 3-5
List the materials required to carry out your investigation.
Write a numbered step-by-step procedure to show how your experiment/design process will be carried out. Include specific steps that you used to collect data on how your hypothesis is tested.
Conduct your experiment or begin your design process, being sure to follow safely rules. Keep careful, written records every day as you are working. Use a data table to collect your observations (results). Graph your results using either a line graph or bar graph. Graph is due!
