FINAL PROJECT

Pt Values = 5, 4 or 3

No 2 or 1 pts offered because there are no “D” or “F” grades in High School

Areas for Improvement?

Tested, Observed, Generated IdeasCompleted pages 1 & 2 of lab sheets

Completed Final StructureCompleted page 3 of lab sheets

How do we Write a Conclusion Paragraph?

After completing a lab, it is important to write a conclusion paragraph based on evidence.

Evidence can be quantitative (numbers) or qualitative (descriptive observations, patterns, etc.)

Address the following points in your paragraph.

1)Restate the overall purpose/challenge of the lab.

1) Independent Variable: materials and restrictions

2) Dependent Variable: Design for Height of structure or Strength of structure

2)What were the major findings?

1) Summarize your trial results….

2) What happened, give any specific #’s or observations to support the viability of your structure

3) What did you find that worked, what didn’t work?

3) Was the hypothesis supported by your evidence?

1) Yes or No

2) How so?

3) Did anything surprise you?

4) How would you improve this experimental structure?

1) What did you learn about the materials?

2) What would you differently?

5) What else could we do to continue a study of this building topic?

1) If we could try again, what would you like to investigate?

2) How would you modify this experiment?

3) Would you use different materials or have different parameters?

4) What value does investigating building structures have in our world?

Chemistry is present in every aspect of life.

Choose any 2 questions and record a minimum of 3 bullet points about the topic.

Write 1 summary sentence telling the chemistry or physics connection.
