MYP Sciences –

1. Outline the aim of your experiment.

2. In your method, identify the independent variable and dependant variable.
3. State what other variables could affect the results, but which you will
control by keeping the same.
4. Predict what you think will happen in your experiment, and explain why
you think this with scientific reasoning.
5. Now carry out your experiment.
6. Organize your results in a table. Make sure your table has headings that
clearly show the variables you used, and any units of measurement.
7. When you have gathered all your result, write a conclusion for the manager
of the company.
8. Evaluate your experiment for validity and suggest any improvements you
could have made.
