Muffin Density
Ok so now I am writing a paper..... We arent supposed to talk about our experiment since this is only our research and I am having trouble coming up with things to talk about. Please help!!!!

Re: Muffin Density
Hi,
This sounds like a great project.
There are lots of things to talk about in writing up your science project. First, check out the science buddies website for an outline of all of the sections that you need to include in a project write-up, and a sample report is included.
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... port.shtml
Also, I recommend that you go back and look at the original assignment from your teacher and make sure you have included all requested information. In your background section, be sure to explain the science behind your project. Make sure there is a logical connection between your hypothesis and your conclusion.
Does this help? Let us know more about your project if you need more suggestions.

Re: Muffin Density
Hello!
I used to have similar difficulties when I was asked to write up reports in my project.
Just make sure that you include every step of the research process; make a list of things that you can talk about, like background research, your hypothesis, and your conclusion, etc.
Remember the steps of the scientific method; each part will be one section of your research paper (for example analysis of results will be the discussion/conclusion in your report).
Hope this helps, and Good Luck,
Nithin T.

Re: Muffin Density
Hello,
Your exact question (or link from sciencebuddies, if applicable), would help me and the other posters greatly. However, judging from your title Muffin Density, you might want to talk about the factors or variables that can affect the density of a muffin. Maybe you saw that if you baked a muffin with baking powder instead of baking soda, it was more or less dense. Maybe you saw that if you added water to the muffin mixture, they came out denser. You need to investigate (Google is a great place to start) WHY and HOW these different substances or variables added can affect the density of a muffin. If possible, talk about the different enzymes involved, or the chemical reactions that take place.
