Hypothesis:

Variables:

Independent Variable:
Dependent Variable:
Controlled Variable
Materials:

Procedure:
The procedure should be clear and detailed so that others can repeat it. The details should be specific in how the procedure changes the independent variable, controls all variables that need to be controlled, and observes or measures the resulting changes to the dependent variable.
