  1. Conclusion Writing 8 steps that just may save your lab report grade 

  2. Hypothesis should be restated WORD FOR WORD • Should be the first sentence in your conclusion • If…..Then……Because (use scientific reasoning and vocabulary) • Example: If I change the wing design on my rocket to a square then it will fly a further distance because the sharp edges of the square will cut through the air making the rocket more aerodynamic. 1. Restate Your Hypothesis

  3. Make a statement explaining if your data supports or disproves your hypothesis and why it does so • Example: My data does not support my hypothesis because the rocket that traveled the furthest distance was actually the rocket with the curved wings. 2. Does the data support or disprove hypothesis

  4. Refer back to your quantitative data and use specific numbers • Example: In my data I saw that the averages of my three rockets were very far apart. My square wing rocket only traveled 257 cm on average while my curved wing rocket traveled an average of 682 cm. The triangle wing rocket was in between averaging 450 cm. 3. State numbers from your data

  5. Relate the data back to your hypothesis. • Example: The data I collected clearly shows that the best design for rocket wings were a curved design. I thought that the best design would be a square wing but that design was actually the worst performing rocket. 4. Explain why your numbers support or disprove your hypothesis.

  6. Analyze your graph and put in words what the picture tells you • Example: My graph shows that the curved wing rocket design traveled almost twice as far as the square wing design. It was also a lot taller than the bars representing the triangle wing. 5. Explain what your graph says

  7. Relate your graph to your hypothesis • Example: My graph disproves my hypothesis because it shows that the curved wing design resulted in the furthest distance flown. 6. Explain why your graph supports or disproves your hypothesis

  8. Write down what went wrong with your experiment and how it impacted your results • People are not perfect, there is ALWAYS a source of error • Example: In my experiment some of my rockets were wound tighter than others, this may have affected my results because they were able to hold in more air allowing them to travel further. 7. Sources of Error

  9. Answer your purpose question • Explain what you learned about the purpose • Use information from class and scientific vocabulary • Example: I learned that the best design for a rocket is a rocket with curved wings, the curved wings allow the rocket to glide through the air recording a greater distance. 8. Concluding Sentence

  10. If I change the wing design on my rocket to a square then it will fly a further distance because the sharp edges of the square will cut through the air making the rocket more aerodynamic. My data does not support my hypothesis because the rocket that traveled the furthest distance was actually the rocket with the curved wings. In my data I saw that the averages of my three rockets were very far apart. My square wing rocket only traveled 257 cm on average while my curved wing rocket traveled an average of 682 cm. The triangle wing rocket was in between averaging 450 cm. The data I collected clearly shows that the best design for rocket wings were a curved design. I thought that the best design would be a square wing but that design was actually the worst performing rocket. My graph shows that the curved wing rocket design traveled almost twice as far as the square wing design. It was also a lot taller than the bars representing the triangle wing. My graph disproves my hypothesis because it shows that the curved wing design resulted in the furthest distance flown. In my experiment some of my rockets were wound tighter than others, this may have affected my results because they were able to hold in more air allowing them to travel further. I learned that the best design for a rocket is a rocket with curved wings, the curved wings allow the rocket to glide through the air recording a greater distance. Full Conclusion
