Plan of Action

Now with your research out the way, it time to plan out your experiment, yea!!!

How to do this???? You have your problem statement, it time for you to make an educated guess or hypothesis. This is based off of your research and prior knowledge. Here are some examples of problem statements and the hypotheses(plural form) to go with them.

• What is the best way to grow plants in my house?
o Hypothesis: The best way to grow plants in my house would be near my bedroom window with plenty of water and plant food.

• How can I have a more “awake” morning?
o Hypothesis: I can have a more “awake” morning by eating a healthy breakfast before I come to school.

• How can I effectively get rid of odors in my house?
o Hypothesis: I can effectively get rid of odors in my house by spraying Lysol near the areas with the most odor.

Now you/parnter enter your information from your Hypothesis and POA worksheet.

Our problem statement is "What is the best way to keep my white sneakers clean". Our hypotheses is "We can keep our white sneakers clean by taking care of them and using household products.For example, Ajax and Bleach". To show that we are right we would have a plan of action. Step one we would Demostrate by showing both power point and 4 paragraph essay. Step two we would show our original project with both household products.Then we are completed.

Our main problem was to found out if humans were smarter than pets.We wanted to know if our knowledge was true or not.I think that my statement was true and I got a lot of information out of this project. I think this is a great project for me to remember. My partner and I worked really hard to get this project done. I think that my project will help others in the future if they ever come up with this question.This project was really helpful to me and i learned a lot from it.Lauren helped me too and she did work on the project herself.For many reasons why I worked hard to get my project done.

Hypothesis:Our bread stales to quickly and its at room temperature so, I think that the bread that we have needs a special temperature. So I think that the bread will stay freshest in the refrigerator because it will slow down the process of molding. It won’t work best in the freezer because the bread will be frozen. Nothing will happen to it if it’s frozen. I don’t think it will work at room temperature because I usually have the heat on about 70 degrees.


Step 1…I will take 3 different types of bread for each place and put them there

Step 2… I will record what happens to the bread everyday for a week


Make a list of materials that you will need to conduct your experiment.

2 brains (yours not mine!)
three types of bread
Sandwich bags
thermometers x2

My project is a study how to use my PSP without it dying on me. to do this I need to know how long to chage it for. So I am going to these following supples for this experiment . Which is a PSP, wall charger , usb cord, timer ,an xbox360 , a computer. The first step is to set the timer to one minute and use the wall charger. Let it charge and run the timer at the same time. After the timer goes off check it's battery status and record it. I might need to turn the psp on for these next two steps. The next step is to use the usb cord with the computer to charge the psp. Again set the timer to one minute. When it go off check the battery status and record it. The last step is use the usb cord with a xbxo360 to charge it. Lastly you should set the timer to one minute. when it goes off you should check it's battery status.

Our problem statement is "What's the best way to grow salt crystals?" Our hypothesis is salt crystals can grow faster in tap water because tap water has minerals and other chemicals that are harmless. What we are going to do is boil tap water and put it into a bowl. Then, we put salt in the boiling water and stir. We put salt in the water until the salt can't dissolve anymore. We would do more than one bowl and each bowl would have different ingredients because we are experiencing what is the best way to grow salt crystals.

My problem is"how does bleach effect plants?". What i would do first is get three plants. Then i would put water in one , bleach in the other, and bleached mixed in water in the last one. Then i will observe for a week. I will observe to see if the plant is growing taller or slowly dieing until the roots can not take in any nutrients. that is how i will solve my problem.
