Write a paragraph for each source: =Materials list= List all the tools and supplies you used. Consider it a shopping list for someone who wants to copy your experiment.

The "if" part of your hypothesis. Dependent Variable: The factor that hopefully changes as a result of the independent variable. The "then" part of your hypothesis. Controls: Factors that would skew your results, but they don't because you kept them constant. =Data recordings and pictures= This can be: =Charts and graphs= Seeing a visual comparison of data is the scientific way to analyze it.
