PROJECT EXAMPLE
“SUGAR CRYSTALs”
Question:
Can you make sugar dissolved sugar reappear?
Hypothesis:
I think the sugar will reappear.
Materials:
1) Sugar (1 ½ cup)
2) Jar
3) Spoon (teaspoon)
4) Lone pencil
5) Paper clip
6) Hot water
Procedure:
#1. Put sugar in a jar.
#2. Put hot water in a jar.
#3. Stir with spoon to make sugar dissolve.
#4. Tie the pencil to one end of the thread and a paper clip to the other end. Put the paper clip on the jar.
#5. Wait until sugar crystals stick to the paper clip.
Result:
The sugar crystals stuck to the string and the paper clip. First I put 1 cup of water, but it didn’t work so I put
½ cup
Conclusion:
When you put the sugar in hot water, you think the sugar melted and doesn’t exist anymore. But you’re
wrong. The sugar is going to be molecules. Molecules are tiniest piece of sugar that can exist in hot water.
When the temperature of the water cools, some of sugar stops being molecules and becomes to be crystals.

ORIGINAL DRAFT
Are you sweet tooth man? And Do you ever done an experiment about “sweetening”. So, when you ate some
sweetness; did you wonder where are sugar, are them disappeared? Now, I will show and process to produce science
project; which are included with the question/problem, hypothesis, materials needed, procedures, constant and variable,
analysis of results and Conclusions. You need to try now! Prepare your note book and pen. Which I will show you steps by
steps to you in the following paragraph.
At First step called “Question and Problem”, you need to doubt and confuse something around in your daily life.
After that you are making a question. In my science project named “Sugar Crystal” When you knew about your own
purpose. After that, you need to research and find the answer. Before you do project; you need to make question. Why?
Because, it make we have direction what we to do.
So, next step; when you knew your objective. You would predict about situation will happen in your experiment.
This based on true and possible in your experiment.
My hypothesis is sugar will don’t reappear and exist anymore. This second step called “Hypothesis”
Let to third step, you need to prepare materials. It is a heart of experiment. You should list down materials needed
in your note.
In my experiment, essential materials are sugar (1 ½ cup), jar, Thread, spoon (teaspoon), long pencil, paper clip
and hot water (½ cup). You can find them anywhere around you. If you ready! Let go to next step…
This step, we can let get start now. This step called “Procedures” We will observe and check in your experiment
data. The data would show what is happen during your did experiment. So, sugar is put in a jar next, put hot water follow.
Sugar was dissolved by stir with spoon. After that, ties the pencil to end of the thread and a paper clip to the other end.
So, put the paper clip in a jar. At last, wait until the paper clip is stuck by sugar crystal.
During you do your experiment, you need to observe the changed of sugar. The next step to the procedure is
“constant and variable”. In my data, that show temperature of water and quantity of sugar.
When you finish your experiment, you need to collect all your record data. There are many way that you can
present and show your data. Your results such as chart, table, graph, picture, and photographs. After that, you should
show your form information with other.
Last step, called “conclusion” This is consequence of situation was happened in my experiment. For conclusion,
in my experiment is Sugar is very tiny molecules. So, sugar can dissolved in water easily and also fast dissolved in hot
water. When temperature becomes cool, some sugar become to be crystal.
Science project has similar structure process. Science project is a good way to find the answer and you can
share with other people. Science based from question and problem. Now I get answer from experiment. It helps me
understand to the science more. You would to make question around you and research. I think you can be a clever guy.

This step called “Procedures” We will plan and check what we will do in the experiment. The
data would show what happen during your experiment. In my experiment, Sugar is put in a jar Next,
put hot water . Sugar dissolved by stir with spoon. After that, ties the pencil to end of the thread and a paper clip to
the other end. Then, put the paper clip in a jar. At last, wait until the paper clip is stuck by sugar crystal.
During your experiment, you need to observe the changed of sugar. The next step is “constant and
variable”. In my data, that shows temperature of water and quantity of sugar.
When you finish your experiment, you need to collect all your record
data. There are many way that you can present and show your data.
Process of Experiment
Your results such as chart, table, graph, picture, and photographs. After
that, you should show your information with other.
Last step, called “conclusion”. This is consequence of situation that happened in the experiment. For conclusion in my experiment
is Sugar is very tiny molecules. So, sugar can dissolved in water easily and also fast dissolved in hot water. When temperature becomes
cool, some sugar become to be crystal.
Make the Sugar crystal more
colorful by “food colour”
Science project has similar structure process. Science project is a
good way to find the answer and you can share with other people. Science
based from question and problem. Now I got answer from experiment. It
helps me to understand more about science. You would make question
around you and research. I think you can be a smart person by doing
