Analyze the Results
Look closely at all the data. You may need to print out the database but it might be rather long! Depending on what your prediction was, you may need to look at data from specific locations or you may need to do a bit more averaging of some of the data. Try to use tables or charts to help organize your data and to display your results. Look closely at the data other schools submitted. Are there any schools that seem to have unreasonable results? Why might that be? After analyzing the data, determine if your hypothesis was correct or needs to be changed a bit. If so, develop a new hypothesis (and new prediction) and look at the data again. |
