design your own investigation of cellular respiration. You will not actually do this experiment. Rather, you will design a “thought experiment” by imagining how you would design an experiment, what the possible results would be and write a report on it. This is a vital part of science. Before spending large amounts of time and energy on a topic, scientists design thought experiments to explore connections and possible results. These form the basis for research and grant proposals. The process of designing a thought experiment will also reinforce a variety of concepts presented in class. Your research report has to follow the conventions of The Scientific Method. Now that you have learned how to measure the rate of cellular respiration in germinating seeds, you have a tool for exploring questions on your own.
Instructions for Writing your Proposed Future Experiment and Hypothetical Results
Overall format: Please write a paper using the format outline below. Make sure to address all sections completely. Note the approximate length for each section.
Title page: Please have your name, the name of your instructor, and your class and section number on the title page.
Body of your paper: Please use Times New Roman Font (12) and single space. Please refer to instructions below for specific format of each section.
References: Please use APA citation methods when citing your references. Wikipedia is not allowed. All references must be from reliable sources, such as university and government websites. Papers must come from peer reviewed journals.
Specific section instructions:
Section 1. (20 points) Introduction (2-3 paragraphs)
Section 2. (15 points) Hypothesis (1-2 paragraphs)
Section 3. (15 points) Experimental Design/Materials and Methods (2-3 paragraphs)
Section 4. (15 points) Expected Results
Section 5. (30 points) Conclusion (2-4 paragraphs)
In addition to interpreting your results and how they relate to your hypothesis, this section asks you to make connections between cellular respiration and other topics, and to reflect upon your experience.
