Example of the In Class STEM Fair Conclusion

Scholars should have the in class STEM Fair model we did in December. The following is the typed version we created in class. 

Conclusion
            The answer to the question is yes, surface area does have an affect on the rate of evaporation. My hypothesis was (restate hypothesis), therefore, my hypothesis was correct/incorrect.
            I can infer about my results the greater the surface area, the faster the water will evaporate and the smaller the surface area, the longer it takes for the water to evaporate. The information about surface area and the rate of evaporation can help me, others and companies by (give examples and details to explain). ** Water bottle companies, pool companies, giving your dog water in the summer time, etc.
            I had problems as I conducted this investigation because two of the graduated cylinders leaked in trials one and three. It was difficult to measure the water that evaporated. Another problem I had was measuring all the water with the syringe from each container day to day. Human error of tilting the syringe made it hard to read the measurements.
            If I kept the same topic of surface area and evaporation, the different idea I would test next year would be (state your idea and details to support your change).
