1. Angiosperm Day 2 You’ve collected the Data…. Now what?!

2. Have Lab Notebooks in Front of You We will be following the same rubric as last time… ItemPoints Table of Contents1 Page Number and Date at top of every page1 Title in ALL CAPS or underline1 Research Question5 Research Model Generation5 Key Concepts/Student Understandings5 Experimental Design: Hypothesis (H A ) and Null Hypothesis (H o )2 IV (independent variable) with Experimental Groups2 DV (dependent variable with units)1 Control1 Constants1 Experimental Components: Materials and Methods5 Raw Data Tables5 Graph – Title, axes labeled, proper type of graph5 Descriptive Statistics – mean, mode, etc., accept or reject H O 5 Results5 Total Points 50 How did you do last time? Follow it for this Lab

3. Day 2: Group Research Project using data collected from all the biology students: Your group has been given the task to research and make recommendations concerning the trees on the Riverside campus – your group can choose to be arborists, forestry experts, plant biologists etc. With your group pick a research question to investigate using the data collected from all the biology students. See VISION for the excel spreadsheet with the data. Make sure to go back and include in your notebook Research Question #2 Alternative hypothesis (Ha) and Null Hypothesis (Ho) Experimental groups (independent variable) Dependent variable (what you are measuring) Control Determine some descriptive statistics to use on the data (mean, median, mode etc). Make a graph on Create a Graph (https://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/) or Excel to add to your brochure.https://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ Determine results and conclusions and make recommendations to Riverside HS administration.

4. OTTW: Make a brochure for your company to inform the administration of your findings and to highlight your recommendations. Go to the class VISION page and open the document RVHLandscapingBrochureTemplete.ppt. Add information and pictures to the power point template Save as you add information. If you want to share this document with your group so that you can work on it at the same time but in different locations you can use the OneDrive or Google docs Print out your brochure in color and submit to your teacher. Make sure to select under Printer properties – print two sided, flip on the short edge Lab Research Notebook Checkpoint (finishing touches): Did I….. Write my experiment in the Table of Contents Date and title each page Number each page consecutively Include the Cognitive Apprenticeship components Make a model of my prediction Add table and a hand drawn graph Results section conclusion Write future questions Outline a future experiment

5. Remember you have a Research Notebook Guide… Riverside Research Biology Research Laboratory Notebook and Scientific Argumentation If you have build a perfect demonstration do not remove all traces of the scaffolding by which you have raised it Clark Maxwell This year in Research Biology you will be participating in several inquiry-based, guided research experiences. These experiences will help you to develop your research skill in a manner that is similar to what you will experience in AP level science courses and in college level professional scientific research. Your Research Based Activities comprise 25% or your Biology grade. Most Research Labs will have the following components: A research notebook Scientific Argumentation document (turned in by TurnItIn.com) Project/Activities

6. Research Model

7. In your groups.. Decide your question Make your plan Individually you complete your notebooks Together as a group you complete the brochure Also be sure to find the resources on the class website and ask Mrs. Papaleo any questions now to let her know you are working diligently. Last minute e- mails are not an acceptable method of communication

8. Insert a picture here of the tree that you took with your group and add a title (include Genus species) Information about this project: Explain the initial data collection for your project with your group here: Where was your tree (s) located – quadrant and GPS (if available) what were the observations and conditions of the tree(s) What is the classification of your tree - include common name and Genus species Any other observations or questions about this tree Who We Are About Us This is the place for your ‘group pitch.’ If you only had a few seconds to pitch your teams description and your responsibilities, what would you say. (Be creative) Contact Us Name: RIVERSIDE HIGH SCHOOL Address City, ST ZIP Code INSERT THE NAME OF YOUR COMPANY AND RESEARCH QUESTION Add alternative hypothesis and null hypothesis here. Add a group picture here or Graphics with your companies Logo or picture

9. Procedures… How did we determine our findings? Write a brief description of what you did during this research project (your procedures). Be sure to include: 1. Description of the initial data collection with your group. 2. Explanation of your research question using the data from all the classes. Add your groups research Question here. Give a brief description about the importance of the question you are trying to answer in this project. How will this project effect the landscape of Riverside HS in the future “Don’t be shy! Show them how fabulous you are! This is a great spot for a glowing testimonial.” Recommendation to Riverside High School: What recommendations would you make to Riverside High School to ensure the growth of the trees on the school campus? Also, add recommendations that specifically answer your research question - what did your findings discover that would help the landscapers to care for the trees? What future studies or questions could help the administration at Riverside HS ensure that the trees will remain healthy in the coming years. Results of Study: Add your results and conclusions here. You could include a bulleted list of your groups findings. Or just summarize your finer points in a few concise paragraphs. We know you could go on for hours about how great your study is to Riverside (And we don’t blame you—you’re amazing!) Just remember that this is marketing—if you want to grab their attention, keep it brief, friendly, and readable. Add a graph from excel or GraphPad here of the data that you analyzed. Fill in the Model above with things that effect the growth of trees. Type a title for your Model Add information about your results here in bulleted form. Information to add include: summary of results; Statistics (means, modes, medians); explanation of the data in the graph/chart that you added. Conclusions:

10. Student Understandings Vocabulary (Angiosperm, Biodiversity, etc.( Write 1-2 sentences about why you think the lab is important to our understanding of science. Experimental Design Research Question Hypotheses: Null and Alternative Independent Variable WITH Experimental Group Dependent Variable (units when appropriate) Control Group Constants

11. 8.Measure the tree’s circumference 1 Meter from the base 9.Measure the height of the tree – (instructions in Directions) 10.Record Health of the tree: Good (G); Fair (F); Poor (P); Dead (D) 11.Record any Observations – trees planted in a sidewalk (SWLK), trees planted in an area less than 1m wide ( 1m), trees planted in a lawn area (LWN) 12.Add the location of the tree (stand next to the tree trunk and select Lat/Lon) 13.Click SUBMIT to add the information. 14.Also record Data in the data table found in the Directions Packet (this will go in notebook eventually) Procedures: 1.Open the GeoForm 2.Find your tree with the correct number (silver tag) 3.Mark the GPS coordinates on the ESRI collector APP 4.Take a picture of the tree 5.Possibly take a picture of your group with the tree (this is your company photo) 6.Take a leaf sample (one is enough) – put in plastic bag and label the bag 7.Take a picture of the leaf with LeafSnap and identify the type of tree

13. Don’t forget… Table Data Page – include the trees you measured (table from lab instructions) Graph Page – hand draw or complete in excel Descriptive Statistics – include calculations for mean, mode, median, etc. (results paragraph) Expectations are higher this time for notebooks, show improvement See Mrs. Papaleo’s example notebook for help if needed

14. Final Paragraph Results Topic Sentence – what was the lab about, what was being tested? Identify the IV and the DV State whether the data (DV) was quantitative or qualitative.. Include the numbers for the means for each group. Ex: “The means for organic and inorganic fertilizer were 23.5 cm and 35.6 cm, respectively.” Do include units. Refer to your graph. A description of the statistics done (what tests did you do? t-Test?) What were the results from the statistical tests done? Provide as many values with units as you can. Refer to the means in your table (Table 1) Make sure your table is labeled Table 1 (or 2…) State the null hypothesis (remember this means that the IV will have no affect on the DV) State whether the null hypothesis was accepted or rejected.
