Metabolic Rate Lab Parts for lab due before Winter Break!

  • Background Info:  your background for your question.  Do not repeat the background I listed for the procedure of the lab.
  • Focused Question (says what you're doing, identifies variables)
  • Variables identified (manipulated, responding, controlled-at least 5)
  • Procedure: includes how variables are controlled, number of trials, and enough detail to follow
  • Data:  organized, labelled, must calculate uncertainty and averages.  You get to pick the data you use from the class databases, but put it in your own data table format.
  • Data Processing:  calculations (show 1 sample of each type), t-tests or correlations or both, graphs (avoid bar graphs, include uncertainty bars)
  • Conclusion (typically 3 paragraphs), explain/discuss results using data from the investigation, discuss sources of error/uncertainty, suggest specific improvements for the sources of error/uncertainty that you mentioned
