Cole Honors - Procedure Submissions

I need your research procedures submitted by Friday.  It should be typed, 12 point font, Times New Roman.  It should include the following information.  Feel free to copy the formatting below exactly.  It will make it much easier on me to read through.

Topic: What are you researching? (Ex: "Amphibian response to pesticides")

Question: What is the question your experiment is going to attempt to answer?  This should be very specific.  ("How will the presence of Atrazine impact leopard frog tadpole development?"

Background: This is where you tell me a little about what research has already been done on the topic.  You should reference, but do not have to cite, research articles you have read.  Don't tell me there is no background research.  Even if there isn't anything exactly like what you are doing, you should have already found some relevant articles.  So, just briefly tell me what the research has focused on, why it's important, etc.

Procedure: Explain how you are going to answer your question.  This should be a step by step process.  This is also where you should detail any materials you are going to need for your experiment.

Results: What do you expect will happen with your experiment?  And explain how your results will fit into the body of research that's already done.  How will your experiment help others better understand your chosen topic of study?

Email me with any questions: tbcole@middletowncityschools.com

Oops!


Attention students in Mr. Lampart's class and parents: 

I made a mistake on the midterm grades.  It is now fixed, but the mail was already sent.  Please disregard the Zoology grade that was mailed out.  I am sorry.  You can check Progress Book for the corrected grade or e-mail me if you have any questions.
