☐Do
you
have
a
research
question
that
is
clear,
focused,
and
specific
to
the
task
(it
can
be
a
statement)
and
contains:
☐Scientific
names
–
yeast
is
not
enough,
instead
use
Saccharomyces
cerevisiae.
☐Specificity
-‐
“sugar”
is
vague,
“glucose”
is
more
specific.
“Amount”
could
be
replaced
with
mass,
volume,
molecules,
concentration.
☐Include
the
range
of
the
independent
variables
("a
glucose
concentration
from
0%
to
5%”)
☐Measurement
of
the
dependent
variable
–
(“as
measured
by
collecting
the
amount
of
carbon
dioxide
produced
over
5
minutes”)
☐Is
NOT
a
comparison
of
two
organisms
or
“brand.”
☐
Do
you
have
a

that
if

the

☐
Justification
of

(why
are
you
exploring
this?)
☐
Independent

is
justified
(why
are
you
collecting
this
information?)
☐
Control
variables
ore

and
are
discussed
(the
most
relevant)
☐Did
you
explain
how
you
will
change
your
independent
variable?
☐Have
you
identified
your
dependent
variable?
☐Did
you
explain
how
you
will
measure
your

☐Did

how
to

your

☐Do

☐Did
you
list
sizes?
☐Did
you
list

of
each?
☐Concentrations
of
solutions?
☐Did
you
list
uncertainties
of
your
measuring
equipment
(thermometers,
measuring
cylinders,
etc)?
☐Does
your
equipment
list
match
up
with
your
method
and
control
variables
(if
you
measure
20ml
of
something
do
you
have
a
measuring
cylinder)?
☐Did
you
include
a
labelled
diagram
of
your
setup
(especially
if
your
setup
is
complicated)?
☐Did
you
make
sure
you
repeated
your
experiment
multiple
times
(usually
a
minimum
of
5,
but
more
is
better
though)
☐Did
you
use
at
least
five
different
variations
of
your
independent
variable
(more
if
relevant)?
☐
Have
you
shown
full
awareness
of
the
safety,
ethical
or
environmental
issues
relevant
to
your
method
or
stated
that
there
were
not
any
issues
to
discuss?
And
included
some
of
the
following
☐Evidence
of
a
risk
assessment
☐An
appreciation
of
the
safe
handling
of
chemicals
or
equipment
(e.g.
the
use
of
protective
clothing
and
eye
protection)
☐The

☐A
