 Key Vocabulary

Question The question should be about the investigation

Research Books, Internet, Dictionary, Professionals

Hypothesis Guess, Predict

Materials to test the investigation Experiment

Create tables and graphs to write what happened during the experiment Analysis

Write down what was observed during the analysis Conclusion

 Example: I predict
that cotton is If a houseplant
waterproof. plant is not
watered for three
weeks, then the
I predict that
plant will wither
friction is more on and die because
a rough surface. plants need
adequate amount
I think that plastic is of water to
waterproof because survive.
it does not absorb
water.
Example: I am
dropping water
on different
materials to test
which one is
most absorbent.
Example: We are
writing down
what we
observed during
the experiment.
Example: We
conclude that
friction is more
on a rough
surface than a
smooth surface.
