Feeling Bloated?: Final Report Guidelines

Final Report Guidelines

[data log] [final report] [evaluation sheet]

OBJECTIVE: Restate the objective given on the project page in your own words.

HYPOTHESIS: This is your best GUESS as to what will occur within the four days of the project. Look at the questions in the conclusions to help you develop your hypothesis. You can’t be wrong here.

Data charts and pictures:

Graphs of data with lines/curves of best fit:

Conclusion: Answer questions such as:

  • Was your hypothesis correct? If not, why not? Address each point in your hypothesis.

  • What did this experiment have to do with similarity?

  • Were the creatures truly similar at all stages of its growth or shrinking? How did you know and why was it important?

  • How long did it grow? How long did it take to shrink?

  • Where in your data was the creature growing the slowest and how did you determine this? (rate of growth is slowest)

  • Where in your data was the creature growing the fastest and how did you determine this? (rate of growth is fastest)

  • Where in your data was the creature shrinking the slowest and how did you determine this? (rate of decay is slowest)

  • Where in your data was the creature shrinking the fastest and how did you determine this? (rate of decay is fastest)

  • What interesting things did you observe and learn during this project?

  • Did it shrink back to its original size?

Reflections: (extra credit) If you were to do this experiment over or design it differently, what would you change? What other things could you try that might make it more interesting? Was it fun? Do you think that the shapes of the creatures made any difference on how they grew/shrunk?
