Write your report
A scientific report has four parts, in order: Question → Method → Results → Conclusion. Write in the past tense ("we measured…") and build your conclusion from evidence, not opinion.
1. Question — what did you want to find out?
2. Method — what did you do? (Enough detail that another class could repeat it.)
3. Results — your table and graph go here (attach or redraw).
4. Conclusion — what do the results show? Did they match your prediction? Build it from your evidence ("the results show…").
Unit vocabulary review
Look back over the four big ideas of the unit: living things and survival, reversible and irreversible change, our changing Earth, and electricity.
Match each key word to its meaning by writing the definition in your own words.
| Key word | What it means (in my own words) |
|---|---|
| fair test | |
| habitat | |
| irreversible change | |
| conductor | |
| energy transformation | |
| conclusion |
Reflect: write down one thing you understand now that you didn't at the start of the term, and one thing you'd still love to find out.
