Grade 5 · Science · Lesson 8

Peer Review & Conclusions

A conclusion is where the experiment ends and the explanation begins. It is not the place for guesses or wishful thinking — it is where you state what your data actually shows. Real scientists then ask other scientists to check their work. That checking is called peer review, and it is what separates a careful conclusion from a rushed one.
