Data Notebook

A well-organized notebook is crucial for documenting observations during your scientific experiment. This guide outlines the necessary components for an effective experiment journal, including recommended materials such as a sturdy binder or notebook. Each entry should be neat, detailed, and follow a structured format with headings for the day, date, and time. Accuracy in observations, including metric measurements and illustrations, is essential for grading. Developing an organized system for recording experimental data will enhance your scientific inquiry and document your findings systematically.

  2. Why? • For observations during the experiment. • Organized way to keep data. • A journal of your thoughts during the experiment.

  3. What you need • A ½ inch binder, composition notebook, notebook, or folder. • I recommend one that pages will not have even the slightest chance of falling out.

  4. Set up • Can be observed by the minute, day, week, trial, etc depending on the experiment. • Entries should be NEAT and organized. • One observation per page. • Should be IN ORDER. • Be detailed.

  5. Set Up • Heading: day, date, and time on each page. Organization!

  6. Grading • Each page has a heading including Day, date and time. • Worth 5 points

  7. Grading • Notes of observations for the experiment are recorded in detail. • Worth 10 points.

  8. Grading • Illustrations are included with observations each day. • Worth 5 points.

  9. Grading • Metric measurements are recorded. • Worth 5 points.

  10. Grading • Neatness • Worth 5 points.

  11. Grading • Completeness (shows observations for the experiment from start to finish). • Worth 10 points.

  12. Example: • Day 1 • January 20th 12:30 pm • Subject 1: I notice that there are some holes on my leaves. I think bugs have gotten into the experiment

  13. Day 2 • January 21st 12:30 pm • My dad said to spray the plants with an equal amount of bug spray. I will have to add this control to my list.

  14. Day 3 • January 22nd 1:00 pm • I measured the plant growth of all three plants. • #1 = 1cm • #2 = 1cm • #3 = 1.5cm
