PROMPT SHEET: LAB REPORT
Use the following steps to guide you to write the report. There is a list of material given
below that you may use it to plan your methodology. Start with a blank document and add
sections as you go. Remove the prompt words from your report as and where needed.
RESEARCH QUESTION:
Neymar Jr. says, “I think the amount of detergent used (product consumption) to clean/remove the stain plays an
important role in terms of its sustainability.”
● Do you agree with this hypothesis?
● Plan a way to investigate this, and write a report explaining how you would do it.
How does ……. (Independent variable) affect .............................. (dependent variable) when the you keep (the
constant variable) the rest of the variables the same.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: To learn about your topic in order to form your hypothesis and correctly
design your experiment.
HYPOTHESIS:
● State what you expect to happen to the (dependent variable) when you change the
(independent variable).
● VARIABLES TABLE:
Independent Variable:
The one thing you are going to change to see what happens. ……………………
Dependent Variable:
The thing you are going to measure which will help you ……………………
to know the if the washing agent is sustainable
Controlled Variables:
What you will try to control and keep the same to ensure you ……………………
have a fair test
Sciences guide 34
APPARATUS:
List the important equipment you are going to use – safety equipment does not need to be included.
METHOD:
Write out the steps you will follow in your experiment – do it step by step.
Say clearly and exactly what you will so that someone else could repeat it.
It should include:
a. What you are going to observe or measure (This is your dependent variable)
b. How you are going to measure or observe it
c. What factor(s) you will have to change during the experiment (This is your
independent variable).
d. How you will change your independent variable
e. The main things you need to keep the same to make it a fair test (controlled variables)
f. Information about three trials.
RISK ASSESSMENT:
You will only be given credit for risks associated with your experiment. Think carefully about what risks are
associated with your experiment in terms of making it safe for you and being responsible for the equipment.
RESULT TABLE:
Sciences guide 35
GRAPH:
Check your results table. Does it have a proper title? Have you labeled the rows and columns with the variable
and the unit?
CONCLUSION:
What happened to the dependent variable you were investigating when you altered your independent
variable?
When I increased the ……, the time for the change of state ……(increased/decreased)
I think that this happened because …… you need to use the key vocabulary
