Dear doesntgettheproject,
In my experience do as many trials as you can, the judges are more impressed with more trails and the more accurate the data is, I could go into the Statistical reasons why, but you probably don't care.

Re: How to make a data table without trials?
Hello
Even if you only have one trial it is still possible to make a data table it would be like a making a regular data table WITH trials except you would not need to list trial 1,trial 2,etc, and enter the information.
However it is important that you have several trials.Usually school require a minimum of three.If you are able to do more trials I highly recommend it.It gives you a larger,more accurate and precise data set and it also makes your project more valid.
If you need more help just post and good luck
