Independent Investigation Guidelines

Step 1: Create a Question

  • What do you want to find out?
  • Does your question relate to the topic?
  • Can you develop an experiment to answer your question?
  • Does your question make sense? Is it confusing?

Step 2: Hypothesis

  • What do you think will happen?
  • Make your hypothesis SMART! (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result-Oriented, Time-bound)
  • Use complete sentences.

Step 3: Procedure

  • What steps will you follow to find an answer?

· BE SPECIFIC! Label your steps using 1, 2, 3, etc.

· Would someone else be able to follow your directions?

  • How will you collect your data?
  • How will you ensure reliable results?
  • What safety issues need to be addressed?
