The skills which are required in Science need clear presentation and logical

discussion of what you have done.

Aim: What do you want to test or prove? OR What do you want to learn or
discover?
Hypothesis (optional): This is your prediction of the effect one variable will have
on another.
Equipment: List the equipment you need to conduct the experiment. Draw a
labelled diagram clearly showing what the equipment is and how it is used.
Procedure: List the steps you follow to conduct the experiment.
Safety/Risks: What danger could there be in doing this experiment? Consider
electric shock, burns, chemical contamination etc.
Results: Draw up a TABLE to record results, if numerical data is obtained. Results
may include written observations in a list or table, sketches, diagrams, photos,
etc.
Discussion: How did you ensure that the measuring was accurate? What
mistakes were made? How could this improve? What did you observe? Is the
result what you expected? Compare to published information. Were there any
hazards (dangerous things/situations)?
Conclusion: Have you tested or proved what you had as your aim? Say that you
have done so in a clear, logical statement. Make an assessment of the reliability
and validity* of your experiment.
