Resuly paper

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

Resuly paper

Post by kneedeep »

My school requires a results paper without conclusions.
I'm sort of confused on what they want. I have to have
graphs and pictures also. Can you help?

Thank you

Hi kneedeep,

That's very strange that they don't want conclusions, as that is one of the most important parts of the project, where you state what you learned from your results. I would still analyze the results and tie them back to your background research, and just not label them as "conclusions." Just stick your analysis in your results section, or you could call it "Discussion."

Take a look at our project guide for help on the data analysis, specifically under the "Analyzing Your Data and Drawing a Conclusion" and "Communicating Your Results" sections (which are all on the left side).
