  2. ABSTRACT (for written report only) Example: A volcano is an opening on a planet’s surface or crust which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gasses to escape from below the surface. Some well-known volcanoes around the world are Mount Rainier, USA, Mount Etna, Italy; Mauna Loa, Hawaii, USA; Sakurajima, Japan. A volcano in Iceland called Eyjafjallajokull erupted in March 2010. It happens when the hot magma finds cracks on the surface of the planet and forces up or erupts. I made a model using a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar to simulate the gasses and magma flow. When the baking soda (base) reacts with vinegar (acid) it forms the gas, carbon dioxide. The gas expands and escapes through the opening of the bottle. The gas, flour and food colorings makes foam which looks like the glowing magma in a volcano.

  3. PURPOSE Why are you conducting the experiment? or What question are you trying to answer? Keep a Scientific Notebook or Log start as early as this search-for-purpose stage

  4. PROBLEM (or PURPOSE) • Too general and weak: • How does Cancer affect the Body? • How many people J-walk on Huntington Avenue? • BE VERY SPECIFIC • Much stronger: • How do human lymphatic cancer cells affect human brain cells? • How many people J-walk at the intersection of Forsyth and Huntington from 3 pm – 5 pm on weekdays?

  5. INTRODUCTION Background information / Hook to reel in reader Written report should include a more extensive literature review

  6. HYPOTHESIS • A testable explanation (DrP’s preferred, and simple!, definition) • A tentative explanation for an observation, phenomenon, or scientific problem that can be tested by further investigation. (from http://www.freedictionary.com) • An explanation put forth to account for known facts;especially in the sciences,A provisional explanation from which to draw conclusions that shall be in accordance with known facts, and which serves as a starting-point for further investigation by which it may be proved or disproved. (modified from http://www.oed.com)

  7. Hypothesis examples • Weak • I believe mixing vinegar with baking soda will result in foaming • Strong • I believe combining a 4:1 ratio of Vinegar to Baking Soda will result in four inches of foam

  8. MATERIALS • Weak • A cup, ruler, baking soda, and vinegar • Strong • 16 oz cup • 4 oz distilled white vinegar • 1 oz baking soda powder • 12 inch ruler

  9. METHOD Remove this and paste/type your EXPERIMENTAL METHOD

  10. METHODS & DESIGN • These are all steps of the experiment... • Ex. Pour 4 oz distilled white vinegar into the 16 oz cup • Add 1 oz baking soda powder to the 4 oz distilled white vinegar in the 16 oz cup • Measure the height of the foam in the cup with the 12 inch ruler • Record color all observation in journal (from as many stimulus as available • (Take a picture or video)

  11. DATA & RESULTS • Record all observations in journal(from as many stimulus as available • (Take a picture or video)

  12. DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS • of Data or Results

  13. CONCLUSION • The reaction between vinegar and baking soda is a double displacement reaction. Vinegar reacts with baking soda to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is unstable so, it decomposes into carbon dioxide and water. The balanced equation for the reaction is; • CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ------ > CH3COONa + H2CO3 • CH3COOH + NaHCO3 ------ > CH3COONa + H2O + CO2
