Experiment Design: Presenting your Data and Observations

After experiment week I'm sure we will all agree that it is hard work collecting good data.  Now it's time to present this data in a way that clearly communicates to your audience what you experienced during the experiment.

Data Discussion:

The discussion is a place to report your observations and how they may relate to the data you collected.  This section should only include facts and measurements and relationships you see in data and observations.  It is not a time to give opinions or make conclusions.


Graphing help:

1. Clearly present measurements - When you've collected useful measurements data tables and graphs and charts are clear ways to provide your audience with this information.

2. Visually present experiment and results - Photo and videos capture what might take many more words.  Be sure to include a diagram or pictures of your results.  You can also include a short video in your report.
