difference between data and results?

Question

Im working on my science fair project I was wondering how these two sections vary.
My project is on "does the viscosity of a solution affect its boiling point"
I collected the data and the time it took to get to their boiling points.
Now im just confused on what to do.

Like could you put an example for results and data so I could understand it more clearly?
I was thinking that Data is where you put the charts and pictures and everything and results were where you explained why it happened?

Answer 1

The data would be the actual numbers you measured - viscosity, boiling time, temp, etc. The results are how you interpret those numbers - such as, honey is more viscous than water and has a higher boiling temp, so I conclude that the more viscous a solution is, the higher the boiling temp.



If you used more than two solutions and want to graph them (some measure of viscosity vs. boiling temp), the graph goes in the data section and the interpretation (slope if it's a line) in the results section.

Answer 2

data is what you got out of and experiment



results are the outcome of your experiment
