Scientific Project: Final Data Collection
Learning Objectives:
1) Implement the appropriate steps to collect new information about a lifestyle change.
2) Demonstrate how to organize and record data during a scientific experiment.
Instructions:
For this section of your scientific project, you are expected to provide the final results of your
data collection. At the top of your paper, please restate (in one single sentence) your
hypothesis to clearly identify your independent and dependent variables. Failure to restate
your hypothesis will result in an automatic ZERO for this assignment.
All of your data must be typed in a table in order to receive any credit for this assignment.
Final Data Collection
You will be expected to turn in ALL of the data you have collected for your scientific self-
experiment. At the time you submit this assignment, your data collection must be
completed. The following information is REQUIRED for this portion of this assignment:
• All data is typed into a table.
• Hypothesis is restated at the top of the page.
• Tracking of independent variable is clearly identified and labeled.
• Pre-experiment dependent variable value clearly identified and labeled.
• Post-experiment dependent variable value clearly identified and labeled.
• If you collected your dependent variable at intervals between your starting value and your finishing value, you must present this data as well.
For more information on assignment expectations, please refer to the example on the next page.
Rubric:
Mechanical review: In order for the paper to be graded, it must meet the following criteria:
1) The hypothesis is clearly stated at the top of the page.
2) All data is typed into a table.
3) The assignment was completed and submitted on time.

Example:
This is an example, NOT a template. This is a guideline or idea of how to assemble a table
with your data. AT MINIMUM, your table must include the five headings highlighted in yellow.
Failure to restate the hypothesis will result in an AUTOMATIC ZERO on the assignment.
