Notes Title = How to write the “Methodology” section “Procedures” vs Notes Title = How to write the “Methodology” section “Procedures” vs. “Methodology” Procedures Instructions are written as commands Steps are numbered Materials listed separately Instructions are detailed enough for others to repeat the experiment. Methodology Written as a narrative (paragraph form) in the past tense Written in 3rd person (no “I” or “we”) using the passive voice Materials are embedded in the paragraph, explaining what they were used for. Descriptions are detailed enough for others to repeat the experiment.

Active vs. Passive Voice Video on active & passive voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHPQpgkNJb0 Why should we write the Materials and Methods section in passive voice? *hint* “depersonalize” Identifying active vs. passive using "by zombies" https://esltechteach.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/zombie-passive-active-voice.pdf How can you use “by zombies” to see if you’re using active or passive voice? (Give an example for each)

Convert DNA extraction lab “procedures” into “Methodology” Things you SHOULD include: Why you used the materials or what the materials were used for What kind of data you collected (or what you measured) Things you should NOT include: The act of gathering materials or cleaning up Who did what The actual results, observations, or data

Include ingredients for the DNA extraction solution Write a narrative (full sentences in paragraph form) describing what happened in the DNA extraction lab., including mistakes! Include ingredients for the DNA extraction solution Write “(by zombies)” to check each sentence Do not include clean-up steps Do not include the results of the lab. Procedure: 1) “Put the strawberry into the ziploc bag” Methodology (Passive voice, past tense, 3rd person) “One strawberry was put into the ziploc bag (by zombies).”
