Draft 1

Title INCLUDE: Something about methods Something about your specimen What you expect to find There should be <100 characters (not including spaces)

Abstract What will you do and why? Do you have a purpose? What is your hypothesis? What are some of your methods ? (hint: PCR) Why is your research significant ? You must predict your findings with support Support = Citations

Abstract Things to remember: Make it < 250 words Include your 30 days project (without calling it the 30 days project) A purpose is not the same as a hypothesis. You must have both. Predictions ( not your hypothesis ) provide information such as: band size primer temperature DNA obtained by genome extraction CITATIONS!

Introduction Give background information learned from sources Sources = citations Provide a hint of expected findings Please keep it 4-5 paragraphs long Include your 30 days project! CITATIONS.

Methods LOTS of detail: could someone else do this all again with only your methods section? …in paragraph format. Don’t just include the numbers (temperatures, etc.) Where did you obtain the materials? Where did you obtain this protocol? How did you analyze the data? Make sure it is all in past tense

Discussion Do not just repeat the introduction. Why did you predict the results you did? Do you have a thesis/point ? Did you back it up with citations ? What is the significance of your predicted results? How do these relate to your thesis?

Discussion INCLUDE: Your hypothesis Why you made the predictions you did Your predicted results CITATIONS Your 30 days project Discuss your predicted results—this is the discussion section! Refer to figures when discussing your predicted results

Predictions Follow the format: “ We predict …[what]… because …[why]…(citation).”

Predicted Results Are they appropriate based on sources ? Sources = citations They are not fake data. Include : Band length Temperatures DNA concentration Any other numbers? 30 days!

Predicted Figures Does it address the research question(s)? Does it look like a scientist made it? Could you just read the legend and know what the paper is about? No fake data. You can predict what a gel will look like—so we should see a gel prototype.

Predicted: Results and Figures Don’t forget: You must use a figure in your results/discussion if you included it in your paper You must back up all of your predictions with citations Write like a scientist! “ We predict …[what]… because …[why]…(citation).”
