Slide 4 - Slide
2. What do I already know?
Background information
Text that shows supporting theories for the subject you are researching
Make use of sources: Book and internet
Example:
Plants need their leaves to perform photosynthesis, without them plants do not have food.
Slide 5 - Slide
3. What is my hypothesis?
Hypothesis
What answer do you expect for your research question?
Why? support you expectation with theories.
Example
I expect the plant will die, it needs food and without leaves it is unable to do photosynthesis.
Slide 6 - Slide
4. What am I going to do?
Workplan
Step by step
list of
how you are doing the experiment
Why in this way?
Example:
Take to cups and fill them with 5 beans, earth and water.
When the beans have germinated I cut off the leaves of all beans in cup 1. Beans in cup 2 keep their leaves, so I can compare them.
I check both cups every day and note down any changes.

List of everything needed to perform the experiment
Example:
2 cups filled with earth
10 beans
Water

Only facts!
Use table and/or graphs to organise your data.

The stems of the plants in cup 1 lose their rigidity.
The plants in cup 1 died after 4 days.
