You have asked a question, studied some background, performed an experiment, collected data, shared it with others, looked at the data others have come up with and made sense of the data. Now, it's time for you to share what you have learned.

Ask yourself: "What do I know now that I didn't know before I started the experiment?"

Your conclusion should answer your research questions:

1.  Which brand of slice and bake cookie do most people like best?
2.  Did cost change which cookie was preferred?
	However just answering the questions is not enough.  You have to have reasons for your answers.  You have to explain why you came up with those answers.
Where did you find the reasons for your answers? In the work you did in the Picturing the Data area.
	You can use the graphs you made as evidence to support your conclusion.
Your conclusion should contain much more that just the answers to the questions.  You need to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of your test.
	What did you do in your test that helps you prove that your results are accurate?  You may want to look at the steps you followed and talk about the things that you or others did correctly.
What were some changes that were made that might have changed the results of the test?  This might include how the dough was handled, how the baking was done or how the cookies were tested.
	Were there any mistakes made that could change the results of the test?
Did your test have any weaknesses?  Are there things in your test that might make others wonder if your results were accurate?
	Do you think you looked at the choices of enough people?
If you did this test again, what would you do differently and why?
	If others looked at your graphs would they come up with the same conclusions?
