Example: What Feedback Looks Like
Student submitted:
I think that if I water the plant more, it will grow taller. I watered one plant every day and another plant only once a week. I measured them for two weeks. The plant I watered every day grew taller.

Strengths
- Identifies a hypothesis
- Attempts to compare two conditions
To Improve
- Needs to clearly define the independent and dependent variables.
- Needs more detail about the procedure (e.g., amount of water, type of plant, sunlight).
- Needs to present data in a more organized way (e.g., a table or graph).
- The conclusion needs to be more specific and refer back to the data.
Tips for Better Scientific Method
- Clearly define your independent and dependent variables before starting your experiment.
- Write a detailed procedure that another person could follow to repeat your experiment.
- Collect data carefully and organize it in a table or graph.
- Make sure your conclusion is supported by your data.
