☐Results: Line graph of ONLY your AVERAGES for the data table: “Averaging the Volume of the Bears in Different
Liquids Data Table”
☐Conclusion (2 or more paragraphs and detail!):
 What was this experiment investigating (or what was it about)?
 What was your data?
 What does your data show? WHAT TREND OR PATTERN WAS THERE (for example: as you add water....what
happens to the bears…when you added salt water, what happened)?
 Was your hypothesis correct or incorrect?
 What are some possible errors in your experiment that would make your data UNRELIABLE or NOT ACCURATE?
 MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR DATA TO EXPLAIN YOUR REASONING!
