Introduction

1. Introduction • This should describe the topic of your project. For example: We will be looking at how the humidity may be different in different environments.

2. Question • How does humidity differ between a forested site and a field site?

3. Hypothesis – What we thought the results would be before we started collecting data. • Our educated guess is that the humidity in the field will be lower than in the forest because we think that the leaves on the trees will hold in some of the moisture and there are more plants in the forest that are using water.

4. What we know about this topic. • Plants need water to survive • The soil can hold some water in it after it rains that the plants can use. • Air has water vapor in gas form • Depending on the air temperature depends on how much water the air can hold.

5. Methods – How we collected our data. • We used sling psychrometers to measure the wet bulb and dry bulb temperature. • Here you need to go STEP BY STEP in how you collected the data on each site! You may add additional slides in this area to show each step.

6. Data – The information we gathered. • This should be in a table format.

7. Results • This should be in a graph that you can explain. Your graph is created using your data from the previous slide.

8. Why we think we got these results! • Based on what you know, why did you get these results.

9. Conclusion • What can you conclude about your topic?

10. Additional Questions • Were there additional questions that came up as you were doing your study? • Would you re-do this experiment during different seasons and what kinds of results do you think you would find? • Should this study have gone on over a longer period of time? Do you think your results would change?
