WHAT IS THE COMPOSITION OF AIR?
DirectionsThink back to when you did the steel wool experiment to determine how much oxygen there is in air. And today you pulled styrofoam balls out of the jar that represented the composition of air. What did thosecolored balls represent? Fill in the pie chart to represent the amount of oxygen in the air that you calculated in your experiment. Also, indicate how much nitrogen and other gases are in the air. Create a legend. Each pie piece is 10%.
1. Air is mostly made of what substance?______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. What is the next most common gas in air? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. All of the pollutants together are less than _____________%.

INVESTIGATION CRITERIAGood Questions1. Are you interested in finding the answer to the question?2. Do you have to have a reason or rationale for asking the question?3. Does the question involve comparisons or manipulations?4. Is it possible to investigate the question?
Developing a Hypothesis1. Is the hypothesis testable?2. Does the hypothesis identify an independent and dependent variable?3. Is the hypothesis connected to the question being asked?4. Is the hypothesis clearly thought out?
Procedure1. Is the procedure written step by step? 2. Does the procedure clearly state what will be done?3. Is only one independent variable changed during the experiment? Are all other variables held constant?5. Are multiple trials carried out?6. Is the procedure safe?
Data Collection1. Are the data organized in a table? The table should clearly identify and keep track of all the
characteristics that were measured.2. Were the data collected in a clear and systematic manner? Remember to measure the same
thing the same way every time.3. Do the data include information on the independent variable (the “you changed it” variable);
dependent variable (“it changed” variable); Different trials that you ran for your experiment?4. Were other observations listed and described?
Data Analysis1. Do the data used answer the question being asked?2. Was a graph made? Did the graph relate the independent variable and the dependent variable?3. Is the X axis labeled as the independent variable? Is the Y axis labeled as the dependent variable?
Does the graph have a title?4. Are the results written out? The relationship between the independent variable and the
dependent variable needs to be written. The graph needs to be explained.Conclusions1. Do the conclusions make a claim that relates the results to the hypothesis? The claim needs to
relate the independent variable to the dependent variable.2. Do the conclusions provide evidence to support the claim? The data from the experiment should
be used in the conclusions. Is the graph used?3. Are the conclusions written clearly. The claim needs to be a complete thought and written in
precise scientific language. Anyone who reads this conclusion should be able to understand it.

SW 22 Student Worksheet/ Learning Set Two
ConclusionsWhat have you learned? Do your data support your hypothesis? You need to:1) Make a claim that relates your results to your hypothesis or research question. If your experi-ment had an independent and dependent variable, you need to relate your independent variable to the dependent variable.2) Provide evidence to support your claim: use data you’ve interpreted in the experiment. 3) Provide your reasons for what you are saying.4) Write your claim clearly: It needs to be a complete thought, and written in precise scientific
language. Anyone who picks this up should be able to understand what you write.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
