Science/STEM fair help

Posted: February 21, 2019

Here is some guidance for the French part of the science projects. I told students today that I will not be able to help everyone with everything, but I encouraged them to ask me for help with any translating or how to put something in French so that it makes sense. I will do what I can to help at school. I can certainly help with titles for the projects. 

Here are the steps of the scientific method in French.  

1. Question: What are you looking to find out by performing your experiment? 

2. Hypothèse (hypothesis): A prediction of what you think the result of the experiment will be. It is an educated guess. Be sure to explain why you think something will happen or not happen. 

3. Matériaux (materials): What you need to perform the experiment, a list. 

4. Procédure (procedure): The steps of the experiment. 

5. Résultats (results): The outcomes of the experiment, what was observed or discovered. This is where your data and numbers come in to play. 

6. Conclusion: Explain in a couple of sentences what your results mean and represent for the experiment. Answer your initial question and be sure to state whether your hypothesis was correct or not.
