Describe any analysis of data or formulas used to calculate data, if applicable.

Appendix A in your lab manual is a great resource on how to do literature searches, what to include or not include in each section of a scientific paper, and how to properly cite and reference sources and tips on the scientific writing style.(for examples see http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/sciences)http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/scientific-reports/Works Cited Page with a minimum 3 references All work must be your own and must be submitted electronically by Sunday 5/10 (11:59 pm). Papers may be analyzed by Turnitin.Research Paper Rubric- Please Use the following headings (3 points):Title: 1 pt: Clear and descriptive titleAbstract: A paragraph overview of the entire report that introduces your project with a brief overview of experimental procedures used, discussion of results, and a brief explanation of the implications of these results. It should contain a few sentences of background. 1-2 sentences of hypothesis/expected results. A few sentences on how the experiment was performed. A few sentences describing the results and what they mean/imply. No references are cited in the abstract. This abstract can also be submitted to the STEM Expo if you choose to present a paper for extra credit. Not, sure if we are still having an Expo, but maybe there will be a virtual Expo.Introduction: Discussion of background research required to formulate and support the development of your hypothesis. Give enough detail and background so that the reader has a thorough explanation. Assume they have no prior knowledge of the subject. This section will include most of your references (properly cited in the text). You should also state your hypothesis clearly in this section. Also, include references to provide information to support your hypothesis. You can find this information from various sources (biology textbooks, scientific journals or publications, etc.) You should use either primary or secondary sources (review articles or primary research articles, and not Wikipedia as a direct reference). Again, cite the references within the text. Avoid using direct quotes and instead summarize the reference and then cite it. This section along with the discussion should make up the bulk of your paper.MethodsThis section will provide enough detail of the experimental procedure so that another student (or scientist) could repeat the experiment and obtain similar results. You should discuss the set-up of the experiment, how results were measured, what your control and experimental groups were, and any other important details. Describe any analysis of data or formulas used to calculate data, if applicable. Also include level of treatment and replication. The methods section should be in paragraph form and avoid unnecessary details.Results: 8 ptsThis section should include both a written description of your results and descriptive figures. You need to include at least one figure to represent your data (tables, graphs, or images). Figures should be numbered and referred to in the text. The figures should also be properly labeled and easy to read/understand and should clearly summarize your data (stand alone). See Appendix A in your lab manual for how to properly construct graphs and tables.Overall summary and reflection on your research project including a detailed discussion of the results and what they indicate as well as potential errors and improvements. In this section you will analyze and interpret your data. Clearly restate the hypothesis or purpose of the experiment. Also, discuss specifically what the results were, how they met or didn’t meet your expectations/hypothesis (include specific #s and refer to your data tables, graphs or figures to back up your claims) and what that indicates about the question you were asking. You should also cite other experiments by different researchers that support your results and conclusions. Include any sources of experimental error.
