Scientific Method Mini Trifold Board Template
Students can create mini trifold boards, to display any science experiment using the Scientific Method format with this Word document template.
Teachers can save and share this with their students using public file storage available on school servers, Google Drive, etc.
This classroom-tested template was used for a Valentine Candy Heart Investigation project I developed. Student sample work may be viewed on my classroom web site here:
