Conclusion

Your conclusion should have the following parts:


 * 1. Results**
 * address your purpose / initial goal
 * use numbers / measurements when available


 * 2. Address your hypothesis** //(controlled experiments only)//
 * Does your data support or not support your hypothesis?
 * Explain


 * 3. Something you learned**
 * Be thoughtful and detailed, please


 * 4. Error Analysis**
 * Discuss any and all experiment errors that you could not control (be thoughtful - how might this unavoidable error have affected your results?)
 * Report any "real" errors that were mistakes on your part


 * 5. Reflections and Next Time**
 * What new questions did your experiment bring up? (You do not need to answer them at this point, just ask them. Part of being a good scientist AND Socratic learner is the ability to ask good questions!)
 * If you could do it all again, what would you do / design differently?
