Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Review the data you have collected to see if it is complete. Average multiple trials together. Make a table or graph to represent your data. Label everything on the graph. Draw a conclusion.

Answer: Did you forget to do something? Did you make any mistakes during the process? Have you done multiple trials of each experiment? If you made mistakes, repeat the procedure until you can do it perfectly. If you are confident in your data, it is time to decipher it and draw some conclusions. You might be able to glance at your data and see if it supports or disproves your hypothesis, but understand that you can't make any firm conclusions until the data has been properly analyzed. A properly designed experiment will have replicates or multiple trials. You may have performed the experiment multiple times or you may have tested multiple items at the same time (example: tested battery length of 3 batteries from each brand or tested growth of 3 of the same plant under multiple growing conditions). The data from each of these replicates need to be averaged together and will represent one data point for that condition. To average the trials, add each trial together and then divide by the number of trials. For example, your 3 plants in low light may have grown 3.0 inches (7.6cm), 4.0 inches (10cm), and 3.5 inches (8.9cm), respectively. The average growth height for low light is (3+4+3.5)/3 = 3.5 in. Oftentimes, it is easier to see differences in the data when you make a visual graph. Generally, the independent variable is plotted on the x-axis (horizontal) and the dependent variable is on the y-axis (vertical). Bar graphs and line graphs are a great way to visualize your data. You can draw a graph by hand, but it looks much cleaner and more professional to make it on the computer. For our example, graph the light levels on the x-axis and the growth height on the y-axis. Give the graph a title and label the x-axis and y-axis. Be sure to include the proper units used (hrs, ft, in, days, etc). If you have multiple data sets on one graph, use a different symbol or color to represent them. Put a legend on the right side of the graph to identify what each symbol and color represents. Give the graph a title that tells you exactly which data are represented. For example, "Plant Growth Height in Various Levels of Light." Now that you have plotted your data, you should be able to easily see differences between your various conditions. At the elementary and middle school level, you can draw your conclusions simply by looking at the data. State whether the data support or disprove the hypothesis. Discuss changes you might make to the procedure or future studies you could do to further the study. At the high school level, you might be able to run some statistics on your data to see if there truly are significant differences between the independent variables.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Preheat your oven. Prepare your heart-shaped mold/baking pans. Bake cakes for about 35 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and cool. Frost and decorate.

Answer: Turn on the oven to 350F (177C). Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch (20.3 or 22.9cm) heart-shaped baking pans by rubbing about a teaspoon of butter all over the bottom and sides of each pan. Add a tablespoon of flour and gently tilt the pan, so the flour covers the surface. Shake the excess flour out of the pans and throw it away. If you don't want to butter and flour the pans, you can also spray the molds with non-stick cooking spray. Check to see if the cakes are done by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into the center of each cake. The toothpick or tester should come out clean. If the tester comes out with batter attached, return the cake to the oven for a few more minutes. Repeat testing until the tester comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. If removing them from the pans, flip them out and let them cool completely on a wire rack. You can leave the cakes in the pan and cover them with frosting. Or you can remove them from the pans and create a double-layered heart cake. To do so, set one of your layers on a plate with the flat side facing up. Spread some frosting over this bottom layer, then place the other heart layer on top. Cover the top and sides with frosting.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pour water into a resealable freezer bag. Seal the bag. Place the bag in your shoe. Freeze the boot. Let the boots thaw. Remove the bag. Check the fit.

Answer: Fill the bag no more than halfway to avoid spills or tears. Be aware of the areas of your boot that need the most stretching, as this may alter how much water you place in the bag. If it's a smaller or larger portion, fill the bag with the amount of water that makes it fit comfortably within that space. Use a high-quality plastic bag. You don't want any water to touch the leather directly, as this will damage your boots. Choosing a bag specifically labeled for freezer use will help ensure that no leaking occurs. Leaving only a small corner of the bag unsealed, remove the excess air from the unfilled half of the bag, and then fully seal the bag. Double check for leaks, tears, or an incomplete seal. Just in case you've spilled a bit of water while filling or sealing the bag, wipe it off with a dishcloth or paper towel. Check to make sure that the bag presses against the area(s) of the shoe that need to be stretched. Use crumpled newspaper to keep the bag in position. You can use several bags of varying sizes to fill the various portions of your shoe. The toe, in particular, may call for a smaller bag that fully touches the entire front of the shoe. Put your boot, complete with filled bag(s), into your freezer. Leave the boots in the freezer for a minimum of eight hours, or overnight. The water should be completely frozen before you remove the shoes, as the expanding ice is what stretches the leather. Once you remove your boots from the freezer, wait at least twenty minutes and up to an hour before you remove the bags. The ice needs time to melt and soften a bit so that you're not forcing the bag out of the shoe. Taking the bag out too early may tear the bag, leaking water that will damage your boot. Be very careful not to tear the bag as you pull it out of your boot. If your boots are still too tight, repeat the process, focusing your attention on the problem areas.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drill a 2.5in (6.4cm) hole through the top ceiling plate. Drill a hole in your attic floor plate directly above the distribution panel. Drill access holes above the rooms you're running cables to. Mark cutting holes in the rooms that the cables will feed into. Cut out the box you drew on the wall.

Answer:
When you open the wall, you'll see a wood block running above the wall section. Use a boring drill bit 2.5in (6.4cm) in diameter. Press it against the ceiling plate and drill through it. If there is a floor below the panel that needs cable access, also drill a hole through the floor plate. Measure the distance from an external wall to the hole you drilled. This will help you find where to drill the attic hole if you can't find the point right above the distribution box. Go up to your attic and find the spot directly above where the distribution panel is. Then use the same 2.5in (6.4cm) boring drill bit and cut a hole through the floor plate. Attics usually have double plates, so you may have to drill through 2 blocks of wood to create the hole. If you can't find the distribution point, use the measurement you took when you drilled the first hole. Run your tape measure from the same external wall and find that distance in the attic. Drill at this point. If your attic has loose fiberglass insulation, wear a dust mask to avoid breathing in any particles. While still in the attic, find the areas above rooms where you need cable access. Use the 2.5in (6.4cm) boring drill bit and make holes. The cables will exit the attic through these holes. Go into each room that you'll run a cable to. Then find the location where you want your cable outlet. Then use a ruler and draw a 2in (5.1cm) by 2in (5.1cm) box on the wall. Do this in each room that you need cable access in. If you know where the appliances will be in this room, then mark the holes near this location. Otherwise, locate them near an existing electrical outlet. Check for studs behind the wall before picking a location. Make sure you cut in an area with no studs. Use a drywall saw and cut through the lines you drew on the wall. Remove the square of drywall when you've cut all the way around. Repeat this for every room that you're running a cable into.
