Step 7 - State your conclusion

  1. What are the results of your experiment?  What happened?  Write this part of your conclusion as if the reader cannot see your graphs.
  2. Based on the results of your experiment what is the answer to your original question.
  3. Was your hypothesis correct?  (Judges will be looking for this.)
    A correct hypothesis is not as important as understanding what happened in your experiment and why.  More science is learned by incorrect hypothesis than by correct ones.
  4. If your hypothesis was incorrect explain why, and state what you learned as a result of this experiment.
