Bio experimental Design Worksheet Plant Tropic Responses

Task 1, Assignment 1 Complete and submit this worksheet on the course site. Your assignment is to design an experiment to test an aspect of plant tropism that you are interested in. Before starting, be sure to familiarize yourself with plant tropism by reading the Introduction of the lab manual.    You will use this worksheet to help you design your experiment. You will describe, in detail, the components of your experiment by answering the questions below. Be sure to use full sentences in your answers.   Consider everything you learned in the “The Scientific Method” tutorial, as well as, you can search the Internet for additional help with identification of the components of experimental design.   Begin with a Question 1.  Write the claim you would like to test about plant tropism.       2.  Now write the claim that you want to test in the form of a question.       Write a Hypothesis 3.  Write a tentative answer to your question with your reasons. Be sure to be specific with regard to the data you will be collecting. This is your experimental hypothesis.       4.  Use your hypothesis to write a prediction.             5. Write a null hypothesis in relationship to experimental hypothesis.           6. Write an alternative hypothesis in relationship to your experimental hypothesis.       Design an Experiment 7.  Describe the major parts of your experiment. ●      What are your variables? What is your independent variable that you will purposefully change? What is your dependent variable (i.e., what do you think will change because of what you did)?               ●      Describe the controls you are using, and the expected results of the control treatments.             8.  Describe your experimental procedure. Create numbered steps that you will follow to perform your experiment.
