Problem Statement

After reviewing various issues within the science curriculum at our school, the issue that stands out the most is the inability of our student population to write conclusions well. The current performance is that approximately 30% of our students write complete entries relating their data to their hypothesis statement. The desired standard is that 100% of our students are able to write conclusions well. The problem statement is that “the students in our school aren’t able to write an accurate conclusion relating their hypothesis and data in their lab write ups.” Why should students write well thought out conclusions for their labs? Students should learn to write well thought out conclusions because those conclusions are connected to the content and standards of the science curriculum in our school.
