Our app lets your child earn screen time minutes in their favourite apps by watching educational videos and correctly answering quiz questions. And the best part?

Learning time
Kids learn by watching short, engaging video lessons.
An important part of the scientific process is to make conclusions. The conclusion is the last part of something, so it would be the final section in your scientific writeup. Making conclusions is all about thinking why you found the results you did. It is important to use knowledge you have to discuss your results and come up with theories based on your results. Any statement should be based on the results you found and discuss the data but be careful not just to repeat the results section. The conclusion is also an opportunity to reflect on your experiment, to think about anything that did not go as expected, anything that might have affected the results, how you could improve your experiment, and what your next steps might be. For example, if I was to do an experiment to find out if the germination rate of tomato plant is greater with or without music and found no difference, my conclusion should discuss the reason for a lack of difference, including any scientific theories I might have and any issue in my experiment.
