Virtual Lab Seed ExperimentAND Setting up the Research Biology Notebook (a tutorial for you!)

Virtual Lab Experiment: Research Model Development With a partner think of as many

requirements for seeds to germinate and grow. (4 minutes)

Now lets make a Model…….

Its a lot like a graphic organizer !!!!!

Research Lab Notebook- lets get started:

Page 1: Title Page Page 2 and 3: Table of Contents Page 4 and 5: Label with:

Page number Title of Lab/experiment OR Research Question

Did you remember to add the date, title and page number to your Table of Contents?

Does your Table of Contents look like this? (left side)

Virtual Lab Seed ExperimentPart 1:

Open the assignment on Mrs. Sobota website Go to the website Ask a Biologist Read the article Time Traveling Plants (10

min)

Do we need to modify our model(any new informationto add)?

Virtual Lab Seed ExperimentPart 2: Examine the contents of the germinated

seed packets In your notebook on Page 5 write down

the materials needed for this lab Right side!!!

Student Understandings:

Virtual Lab Seed ExperimentPart 3 (all left side): In your notebook on page 6 under Student

Understandings: Write down 4 observations after examining

the seeds Draw a germinating seed and label the parts Write down two questions of your own about

the experiment ALL LEFT SIDE!!! MAKE NEW PAGES IF

NEEDED

Germinating seed

(root)

(Shoot)

Virtual Lab Seed ExperimentPart 4 (all right side):

We are going to observe the effect of the environment on seed germination and growth?

Go to https://askabiologist.asu.edu/experiments/pocketseed_compare#plant_results

With your group decide on a Research Questions and pick 2 conditions that you would like to compare (your control is chosen for you and the IV is your selection)

In your notebook on page 5 under Experimental Design write down the : Research Question (put under title) The control – Seeds Soaked overnight (10 hrs light

and 14 hrs Dark at 23oC IV DV

Data

Virtual Lab Seed Experimentcollecting data: Compare the results from 3 different days.

Check the boxes for the days you want to see then click “Compare Plants”

Select the pictures to see larger images Measure the length of the root and the shoot

using the virtual measuring tool Record measurements in

the data table in yournotebook

Virtual Lab Seed Experiment Part 5: Data is now analyzed using the excel spreadsheet and graphing

Open the document seed_data_sheet.xls on my website

Open the tab for Experiment and import your groups data into the excel spreadsheet

Two graphs will be made for you on the sheet, you can make a quick sketch if you want in your notebook under the data table.

After your graph is complete, SAVE the FILE as

LASTNAME_LASTNAME_LASTNAME_BLOCK_SEEDLABRESULTS and email the EXCEL file to me ([email protected])

Add your dataAdd commentsThe graph is made for you.

Be sure to save the file and email to me

Model Modifications:

Do we need to change anything on the model?

Further Questions:

Outline of future Research:

Graphs: (I will print for you to paste in)

Conclusions: (1-2 sentences)

All Done!!!
