The Effect of ______on Habitat Choice of Terrestrial Isopods. L. Gaga, T. Pain, M. Cyrus, G. Ewing DATE, Paso Robles High School AP Biology

INTRODUCTION PROCEDURE DISCUSSION Paragraph #1 1. This should be painfully detailed! Discuss your data and reference at least 3 average data points (actual Give background information on terrestrial isopods including habitat, 2. Any scientist should be able to repeat your entire experiment based numbers). The discussion is a narrative of your data tables and graphs. anatomy & physiology, diet and mating/reproduction. upon your instructions. Imagine you are explaining the data collected to someone who knows 3. Use passive voice/past tense nothing about science, reading graphs, or tables. There should not be any Paragraph #2 conclusions drawn in this section. Briefly describe how this experiment allows you to test your variable on EXPERIMENT SET-UP SKETCH habitat choice of isopods. Make an accurate and detailed sketch/photo showing your experimental CONCLUSION set up. Each set-up should be labeled in detail. Paragraph #1 Paragraph #3 Does your data allow you to accept or reject your hypothesis? Could you Provide the scientific background for WHY your specific variable is draw any conclusions? Did your data show any trends? Remember, all data important to study/understand about terrestrial isopods. (even no data!) should tell you something about your experiment. Use Include your hypothesis at the end of this paragraph. your Chi-square statistic analysis (include your p-value, critical value, and Pretty Sketch Here chi-square statistic) to support your claims. MATERIALS Or Photograph of Set-Up . Use bullet format (like this!) (With Color & Labels) Paragraph #2 . Be specific What sources of error were in your experiment? How could the . Include quantities numerically (2, not two) experiment be improved? . Correctly name scientific equipment NOTES: 1. Remember caption, titles, units, and labels! Acceptable fonts include: 2. Your posters will be done on a piece of 11x17 paper (provided). You Times New Roman Candara may choose to computer generate the whole thing and print it here, or Calibri DATA DABLE you can do the more conventional crafty approach. Trebuchet Include a table that includes your average for each trial. DO NOT include all 3. Make your posters both LOOK scientific and READ scientific. This isn’t 250 data points collected in this lab, which will be turned in separately. 5th grade science fair. We are SERIOUS BIO BOSSES!! So use rulers, keep Font color: Black ONLY things neat! GRAPH Must be a computer generated scatter graph, using a line of best fit. The X- axis will include your tested variable increments, The Y-axis will include the number of isopods in the treatment chamber.
