Planning: Defines the problem and selects variables - partially complete. The research question is clearly stated. Variables to be controlled are stated but variables to be measured are not clearly stated. Controls variables - complete. Variables and how they are controlled is clearly stated in the chart. Develops a method for collection of data - complete. The procedure describes how the data will be collected, and is sufficient to support the research question.
Data collection and processing: Recording raw data - complete. Different charts were created and used to show the data collected, not just the suggested graph. All charts are labelled correctly and use the correct units. Processing raw data - complete. The area, discharge, and stream velocity were all calculated using raw data. Presenting processed data - complete. The data is laid out in a neat chart with clear headings. No data is used repetitively.
Discussion, evaluation, and conclusion: Discussing and reviewing - partially complete. The discussion should include more outside information, such as comparing the results to accepted scientific understanding. Evaluating procedure/suggested improvements - complete. This section had everything needed, including pointing out flaws in the experiment and errors that could have occurred due to outside factors. It also suggested improvements for everything. Concluding - complete. The conclusion states that the hypothesis is supported by the experiment and gives reasons why.
