The End

Wow thank you for teaching me how to do a science project that is amazing!
Aw it was nothing thank you for listening!!!
Thanks for looking at my science fair project!!!

The Conclusion

Finally you do the conclusion. The conclusion sums up what happened in your experiment. This is my conclusion:


My hypothesis was: If I increase the amount of gelatin in the whipped cream, then the whipped cream will stay fresher longer, because whipped cream is fluffy when fresh, and when overheated is made into goo, so the more gelatin that you use the more fluffy it will stay so whipped cream will stay fluffy and fresh.
I based my hypothesis on the idea that the whipped cream you buy at stores has 0 gelatin in it so it goo’s up when put on something hot like hot chocolate. So I believed that the more gelatin you have the better it will be.
The results of my experiment indicate that my hypothesis was correct it did hold up longer, but it did not taste better. It looked and felt like cottage cheese.
Because of the results of my experiment I would use the 1 tsp. of gelatin on things like hot chocolate, but the 0 tsp. of gelatin I would use to dip things like strawberries. But on the 3 tsp. of gelatin I would throw it away!!!!
If I were to conduct this experiment then I would time how long I beat the cream because then it would all be even and more scientific.

That is a conclusion!

Organizing the Results


This is where you type up all of your information. These are my data tables:
Testers Ratings (Texture)

Tester 1 (Dad)
Tester 2 (James)
Tester 3 (Jaxon)

 These are my graphs from my data.



These are these are the results of my experiment:
I realized that 0 tsp. of gelatin tastes the best, but after 3 hours it starts to silicify. I also realized that 1 tsp. of gelatin is also okay to eat and stays pretty good. The 2 tsp. of gelatin is chunky and looks like ricotta cheese. Finally 3 tsp. of gelatin was hard, tough, and tasted , looked, and smelled like cottage cheese.

Doing the Experiment

In doing the experiment THEN you fill out the log sheet. While doing the experiment you:
  1. Follow the procedure you have written
  2. be accurate in your measurements and be careful in recording the results. At the time you make each observation, record your data in writing on your log sheet. Photographs will be helpful.
  3. If you find it necessary to change your procedure, note the changes and explain why they were made.
  4. Sometimes the measurements will remain the same and your comment may be "Nothing Happened." That is still a result.
Do that and you will have a great experiment!!!

This is one of the whipped creams.
This is all of the whipped creams.


This is Jaxon tasting the 0 tsp. of gelatin whipped cream.
This is James tasting the 0 tsp. of gelatin(and being weird for the camera)

This is Jaxon tasting the 3 tsp. of gelatin whipped cream.


Log Sheet

Next you CREATE a log sheet. You only CREATE one. You create it before you do the experiment. DO NOT FILL IT OUT!!!!

Materials List

Next you have to do a materials list.
Like a list of things you need for the experiment?\
Exactly! Once you make a procedure, then you need to prepare a complete materials list. The list must include every thing you will need for your experiment.
if their is anything that you are using that you can't describe verbally, illustrate it to help you understand it. This is what my materials list looked like:
  • 16 tsp. of water
  • 4 cups of heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup of powdered sugar
  • 6 tsp. of gelatin
  • 4 plastic bowls
  • 1 electric beater
That is what a good materials list should look like.
So mine would look like:
  • 1 Hard As Nails polish
  • 1 Essie polish
  • 1 Deborah Lippmman polish
  • 1 OPI polish
  • 1 Rimmel London

Right?
Great job! I think you have it!!!

Procedure

Next you want to make a procedure. The procedure is a step-by-step list that anyone can follow to duplicate your experiment. Your descriptions of the steps should be concise and complete. It is like you are writing a recipe for your experiment. You can't leave any steps out or your experiment might not work. This was my procedure:

  1. Prepare bowl of whipped cream with 0 tsp. of gelatin
  2. Prepare another bowl of whipped cream with 1 tsp. of gelatin.
  3. Prepare 2 more bowls with 2 tsp. and 3 tsp. of gelatin.
  4. Have Dad, James, and Jaxon taste whipped cream.
  5. Record their ratings. 
  6. Clean up. 
So that how a procedure should look. 
Okay so if I did one on my experiment it would be like this:

  1. Paint 1 finger with each different brand of nail polish.
  2. Next day, record how much chipped of on each finger.
  3. Repeat for 6 more days.
  4. Log results
Great job! Next lesson. 

The Hypothesis

The second thing you need to do in a science fair project is make a hypothesis.
What is a hypothesis?
I was getting there!!! A hypothesis is what you think the answer or what will happen in your experiment. My hypothesis was in a IF......THEN.............BECAUSE................ statement.  This is my  hypothesis: If I increase the amount of gelatin in the whipped cream, then the whipped cream will stay fresher longer, because whipped cream is light and fluffy when fresh, and when overheated is made into goo, so the more gelatin that you use the more fluffy it will stay so whipped cream will stay fluffy and fresh.
That is a great hypothesis.
Thank you, so like you said before you like beauty so your hypothesis would be...
If I use 5 different brands of nail polish then the Hard As Nails brand will stay on the longest, because, I have used all 5 brands and Hard As Nails stays on the longest.
Close enough, next lesson!!!

The Question

First lesson! The first thing you need to do is make a question. The question I did with my science fair project was: Does the amount of gelatin used affect the freshness of whipped cream? The way to pick a question is to find a topic you are most interested in. I love baking or cooking so that is why I chose this question. You want to choose a topic that you are interested in you don't want to do a boring project!!
So if I like beauty then I should choose a question on that topic?
That's it if you love beauty than you can do a project on beauty such as...
Does a certain brand of nail polish last longer?
Great job I think you have the idea!

Reaserch

First you need to do some research on your topic this is how whipped cream is made.

The Scientific Method

This is a chart of the scientific method. The scientific method is what makes a good science fair project. This is what I will base your lessons on.
Wait I have to have lessons like in school?!?!
Yes, since you have no clue how to do a science fair project I have to give you lessons!!
That's it I am not doing lessons!
Too late, when your in you can't get out! Now lesson #1!



The Beginning

Be prepared for the best and tastiest science fair project ever... Fresh Whipped Cream that Lasts!!!!!
I just bought some whipped cream, and it is still fresh!!!!
Not that kind of fresh I mean the kind of fresh that you just made 30 seconds ago.
But that's too much work!!!
WELL with this project all the work is worth it!!!!
Nothing is worth work.
You get to eat the whipped cream.
Let's get makin some whipped cream!!!! But their is one small problem though...
And what would that be?
 I don't know how to do a science fair project!!!
YOU DON'T!!! Well that's okay I will walk you through it let's get started.
