Have you constructed a clear investigative question, based
upon results of your preliminary explorations, that distinguishes cause and
effect?
Have you designed a controlled scientific investigation that includes
systematic observation and accurate measurements. Have you identified an
independent variable and dependent variable(s)?
Have you maintained a Lab notebook or Research Log; and collected data using
appropriate SI units and in ways that others can verify?
Have you accurately recorded your actual step-by-step methods, observations,
thought and data in your Lab Notebook or Research Log? Does your plan
include a sufficient number of samples or trials in your experiments?
