What materials to use & how to use them 2. What is being recorded and how we are recording it What we measure in an experiment (the effect) An explanation done before an experiment that is testable through an experiment. Written in cause/effect (If...then...) Come up with a procedure (experiment) to test your hypothesis 1. Materials needed during an experiment 2. variables 3. steps/directions What we make different in an experiment (the cause) Ask a question AND research information surrounding that question What we keep the same in an experiment
