  • Title: Investigating the Effects of Different Types of Fertilizers on Plant Growth

    Science Experiment Project:
    Final Assignment Instructions
    The purpose of this project is to
    allow you to utilize the process skills that you have learned to design and
    carry out a scientific investigation. By actually conducting an experiment, you
    have the opportunity to make observations, classify variables, measure changes,
    predict results, infer causes of results, and communicate findings. Each
    experiment should include:
    ·        
    A
    title A
    literature review, with citations, that shows the content an educator
    would teach to the students to allow them to form a hypothesis. Define and
    discuss the variables in this section. 
    A
    full description of the experimental design. This should include a
    detailed list of exact materials and a procedure that one could use to
    repeat or replicate the experiment.
    ·        
    A
    hypothesis stated in if/then format
    ·        
    A
    listing of all variables (labeled as independent, dependent, and control)
    ·        
    A
    log of observations,
    ·        
    A
    graph of results
    ·        
    Conclusions
    based on the log of observations and graph of results. Based on the data, discuss whether or not the hypothesis was
    correct or incorrect and why.
    For
    this assignment, you will submit a final paper that includes the information
    from your Science Experiment Project Proposal (with corrections, if any) (both orginal and annotatied documents are attacherd)and
    the following additional information:
    Experiment/Investigation
    Plan
    Data
    Collection: (actually do the experiment)
    Log
    of Observations: Graph
    of Results:
    Inference/Conclusion:
    Although there is no minimum length
    requirement, all areas must be thoroughly addressed. Review the Science Experiment Project: Final Grading Rubric
    to ensure you include all required information.
    Note:
    Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism
    tool.
