Writing the "Project Experimental Log "
 
Use a notebook or a booklet. Like a diary, write down all the things you have done on your project each day. Be sure to include any and all details. A good scientist keeps careful, detailed records of findings and test results. Include such things as amounts / quantities used, color changes, growth etc.. Record any procedure that you carry out during the experiment. Include the date and time that this was completed.

Example of Project Experimental Log:
