I saw a lot of mistakes when I reviewed the formal research proposals this weekend! We need to get these corrected before we get to the science fair date.
The biggest mistakes that I saw were:
- Did not use numbered steps
- Did not include specific measurements
- Did not tell me what data you are collecting
- Left out steps
- Include "extra" information that was not relative to the experiment
A procedure needs to be:
- Step-by-step - numbered steps
- Clear and specific
- Each step is a simple sentence that is a command
- Easy to follow - your procedure needs to be able to be reproduced by another person
- Needs to include a diagram
