Hint for students
A result is an outcome or finding; a conclusion explains what the results suggest about the question.
Common mix-up
Result and conclusion are not identical. Results report outcomes or data, while a conclusion interprets the full body of relevant results and evidence.
Try it in class or at home
Students receive a question and small results table. They write three result statements without interpretation, then one qualified conclusion supported by those results.
Teacher prompt
Compare result and conclusion using one investigation. What happened, and what meaning can reasonably be drawn from it?
