Discussion & Conclusion


discussions:

DiscussionWhat does it mean?This section explains your results. That is , why are the results the way they are? Identify and discuss anomalous or unexpected results. Relate your findings to the general body of knowledge that you provided in the introduction. State your conclusions as clearly as possible. Summarize your evidence to support each conclusion and discuss the significance of the results. What is generally believed to have caused the results you have obtained? If your results are not what are expected, provide alternative hypotheses to explain them. Do your results show any discrepancies with accepted knowledge? If you suspect any errors contributed to the results, discuss the sources of error in this section. How would you improve the experiments (other than the obvious-use more subjects, take more time, and hire professionals to do the job)? Given the results do any follow-up experiments seem obvious? Remember a continuation of this project could be appropriate for future projects.



conclusions: 
  • Summarize your science fair project results in a few sentences and use this summary to support your conclusion. Include key facts from your background research to help explain your results as needed.
  • State whether your results support or contradict your hypothesis. (Engineering & programming projects should state whether they met their design criteria.)
  • If appropriate, state the relationship between the independent and dependent variable.
  • Summarize and evaluate your experimental procedure, making comments about its success and effectiveness.
  • Suggest changes in the experimental procedure (or design) and/or possibilities for further study.
