- You mentioned how the results will verify or contradict your


hypothesis in the results section.

Methodology

● Will this experimental procedure actually help answer the research


question?​ (15 points)

sample (how many people)?
- Procedure​ -- how will research be conducted?
- Materials​ -- list of materials that are needed to execute the experiment :

volunteers)
f) Tests or surveys that will be used.

4- Results
Includes:
- The results predicted by your hypothesis.
- How the results will verify or contradict your hypothesis​ (an example for
this is: “if the results came out as XYZ then this would verify our
