Science Project Conclusion

This is sometimes difficult to determine when to make your conclusion and how to make it different from the results.  Just remember conclusion and results are two different things.

When you do your science experiment you will have an outcome from the data or information you collected while doing the project. This is not the conclusion.  The conclusion should be what you discovered from doing this science project.  Did seeds sprout faster in a blue pot,  Yes or No.

Don’t think the conclusion is a summary.  You need to briefly explain what happened during your science project and did it meet your hypothesis statement question.

Did  the information from your procedure which is the date you kept meet your hypothesis?  If it did not well that is another result also.    It does not mean that your science project did not work.  It is just another possibility that you found when experimenting.  Can you explain the possibility of why this happened.  Maybe colder than you expected, etc.  Did the material you put on the seeds kill them or did they not germinate because you put them outside in very cold weather?

Remember you are not trying to PROVE your hypothesis just test the statement or question to verify if what you have done does justify that statement.  This is the way you need to look at it.  “This is what I thought and it was right or no that was not correct because this is was happens when you do this.”  List the things that happened to cause the difference.
