How did you attempt to solve the problem or explore the question? You may include measuring, calculating, brainstorming, or changing a variable as part of your answer. Use words and pictures to show your invention/describe your idea. IF you created something, be as specific as possible in describing its design (size, materials, etc.) If possible, include a prototype of your invention (use paper, wood, Lego, pieces, fabric, or other common materials) Could or did you improve your design on what you learned? If you were to continue your investigation, what would you do next? What “I wonder…” questions do you still have? Sample Display – Science Experiment Here’s an example of the types of headings and information you may include on a display board for a Science Experiment.
