Keeping a Logbook
One of the most important aspects of doing a science fair project is documentation.
Every experiment should be reproducible and the entries in your notes should be sufficient for someone else to reproduce the experiment.

Keeping a Logbook
You will work out your thinking and the development of your problem in the notebook.
The scientific notebook is a bound or spiral book with pages that are not removable.
The validity of your documentation partly depends upon insuring the work has not been tampered with or pages removed.

Teams
Each member of a team must have their own logbook.

Setting up a Logbook
![Page 6: Science Fair Logbooks. Keeping a Logbook One of the most important aspects of doing a science fair project is documentation. Every experiment should](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e455503460f94b39d27/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Step 1
Write your name on the front cover of the logbook.
On Page 1 write: Your name Your partner’s name (if you are in a
team) Title of your project Somerset Berkley Regional High School Teacher: Mr. Croft

Step 2
Number every page in order at the upper corner along the outside edge of the pages.

Step 6
Choosing a Project – Page 5 Record all project ideas from the
summer assignment and any submitted since then.
For your accepted topic provide: A summary of your topic Problem (in the form of a question) Hypothesis (If… then…)

Step 7
Literary Research Record any reference sources
used for your research paper. Staple your research paper into
this section. Leave a couple pages to include
any future research that needs to be recorded (websites, books, notes, etc.).

Step 8
Daily Log Record what you do every time
you work on your science fair project.
Start each entry on a new page. Date each entry.

Step 8
Daily Log – You can already add entries!
Working on Summer Assignment (1-3+)
Submitting Science Fair Topics (1+)
Topic Approval (1) Working on Research Paper (2-3+)

Step 9
Experimental Research – last ¼ of the logbook
Staple your procedure into the beginning of this section.
This section includes: Data Observations Graphs Analysis of your results after each trial

General Guidelines
Separate the sections of your logbook with adhesive tabs.
Record everything - no detail is insignificant.
Cross out mistakes with a single line (do not cover up the entire entry – whiteout, marker, etc.).

General Guidelines
Tape, staple, or glue computer print-outs, photographs, etc. into the logbook.
You should take pictures throughout the experimentation phase of your project for your logbook and display board.
