Good job participating in class today!
You should continue to study what we have discovered about the Scientific Method and how to conduct experiments. There will be a quiz Thursday on this. Soon I will attach a document that shows you how to write a lab report. We will do a simple lab that you will have to design yourself choosing your own variable.
OOOOOH...INQUIRY LEARNING!!!
Try to be ready when I cut the reigns.
Two things we did not mention is that after a graph you should make a statement that expresses the mathematical relationship shown in the graph. For example...The graph shows that the dry mass of the plant is twice as high in the variable group, than the control group.
The conclusion is the only place to explain why the measurable results in the experiment turned out like they did. But it is based on evidence, not opinion. You should give a few peices of evidence from your observatiions, data or the graph for your conclusion. It is best to use a comparison of data points, rates in a graph or a comparison of averages in the control or the variable group.
You must try to answer the quesion or problem you posed and only talk about that. Your data at the end will either support your hypothesis, or not support the hypothesis. It will not prove or disprove the hypothesis!
