At this point in your science fair work you should be thinking about your conclusion and discussion. Please refer to the important documents for instructions on how to write your conclusion and the prompts for the discussion. Remember the conclusion is a summary of your results.... NO EXPLANATION OR INFERENCES. the discussion is your opportunity to talk about why your project responded as it did, using scientific knowledge and inferential thinking plus adding your own I wonders about "what would happen if..?" or "what would I do next..?"

Please think about wheher you are presenting digitally or as a trifold format. look at the organisation picture below. if it is digitally your presentation should follow the order in the supporting document... basically what you are used to!!!
