An analysis compares and contrasts all of your data. You will come to a conclusion based on your analysis. You must take into consideration any experimental error, statistical significant differences, and margins of error. Questions to ask yourself about the analysis you wrote: Can you identify the experimental control and related data? Can you identify the variable and related data? Can you identify any controlled variables and related data? Was there a statistically significant difference between the control data and the variable data? Was there an acceptable margin of error? Did you contrast and compare all data? Did you base all of the analysis on recorded data? Did you clearly prove or disprove the causal link or correlation you are trying to explain? If you left any boxes unchecked, you should review your analysis and revise if necessary. Click to go to step 6
