Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I need help with my report I don't know what order to put the parts in or what the headings are I got info from my teachers but I lost it please help thank you

Hi Silver_Heart,

What exactly do you need help with? Please explain.

Thanks,
Peter S.

I need help with the headings for the sections like hypothesis and the other part and what order they go in for the final report.

Hi Silver Heart,

I would ask your teacher again for the information. We would not know what format your instructor is looking for in your report. What we tell you may not align with what they want. If you have specific questions about forming a hypothesis or more specifics about what generally goes in each section, please feel free to ask us.

ok thanks anyways

what is a research plan

also what are research questions

Hi Silver_Heart,

A research plan form is usually used to summarize a project's goal, procedures, risks, and data analysis before beginning the project, so you have a clear plan as to how to carry out your research. Depending on your teacher, they may be looking for different things, so I would ask your teacher for clarification.

However, if your teacher is requesting that you fill out the official ISEF research plan form, you can find the specific guidelines on the second page of this document: https://member.societyforscience.org/do ... doc?id=642

As for your research question, this is the question that you're trying to investigate through experimentation. See this Science Buddies article for more information about how to write a good research question: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... tion.shtml
