: A [[conclusion ]] should [[describe]] the results, not just say what the [[results ]] are. If your [[results ]] are that 8 people had brown eyes and only 2 has green eyes, that is not a '''[[conclusion''']]. You could describe the [[results ]] by saying 4 times more people have brown eyes than green eyes.: A [[conclusion ]] should attempt to [[explain]] your results using scientific ideas you understand.: A '''[[conclusion''' ]] can only be based on the evidence you have and the investigation you performed. If you found most people in your class had brown eyes, that does not mean most people in the world have brown eyes. They may or may not, but you can't use your [[investigation]] only looked at your class.
