Tables and Graphs Tables : organizes and displays data Line graph: shows how something has changed over a period of time. Example: Polar bear’s level of activity over an 8 month period. Column graph: compares data Example: Comparing the duration of resting behaviors in adults vs. juvenile sea lions. Pie chart: to show how percentages relate to each other within a whole Example: The amount of time the otters spend in the different areas of their habitat.

Research Project Format for PowerPoint 1.QUESTION: 2.BACKGROUND INFORMATION: 3.HYPOTHESIS: 4.PROCEDURE: 5.DATA: 6.RESULTS & ANALYSIS: 7.CONCLUSION: 8.NEXT STEPS: 9.References

QUESTION: How does___________compare to ________________?

BACKGROUND INFO. 1.In as many slides as you need to make it clear. 2.RELEVANT to the prediction you made. 3.Include CITED SOURCES. 4.Your own words interpreting the information gathered from your sources.

HYPOTHESIS: The research team in this study predicted_______because_____(source, year.) (The because portion should connect to scientific content found in your background information. Please cite your source.

PROCEDURE : Please include the following: 1.Description of what you did with DATE/TIME and LOCATION of data collection. 2.Should be described well enough that it would be replicable by another team in the future.

DATA: 1.Data table, correctly labeled 2.Graphs: The appropriate type of graph to represent your data. Correct and clear labels. Data that supports or is relevant to your question.

RESULTS and ANALYSIS: RESULTS: Description of the numerical data presented in the graph. Example: The occurrence of swimming behaviors was 6. DATA ANALYSIS: (might be a separate slide if you had a lot of data)explaining trends or patterns. Example: Level of activity increased …

CONCLUSION: Please include the following: 1.Restate hypothesis 2.Explain whether the hypothesis was SUPPORTED, NOT SUPPORTED, or data was INCONCLUSIVE 3.EVIDENCE (YOUR DATA) 4.REASONING (CITED) 5. SOURCES OF ERROR (Might be another slide)

(Further Study) NEXT STEPS Please include: 1.A minimum of 3 new questions based on your study. 2.Why you want to explore these areas further.

Literature Cited 1.Must be in APA format 2.Be from scientifically reliable and valid sources. (NO WIKIPEDIA).
