Data Presentation and Analysis- Data Tables
Format Title Units of measurement Numbering Tables Source Leg (thigh) Length (cm) Time of 40 yard dash (sec) 24 9 31 9.2 37 11 38 10 39 8.2 42 8.4 55 9.3 62
18
Data Presentation and Analysis-Graphs
Graph – types X vs Y axis Scaling axis Plotting points Human Error Curve or best fit line Labeling
19
Human Mistakes vs Experimental Errors
Human Mistakes – carelessness Experimental Error – instrument variation or technique Random Error – chance variation Systematic Error – system used for designing or conducting experiment
20
A Sample Dichotomous Key
1. wings covered by an exoskeleton go to step 2 1. wings not covered by an exoskeleton. . . . go to step 3 2 body has a round shape ladybug 2 body has an elongated shape grasshopper 3.wings point out from the side of the body . . dragonfly 3 wings point to the posterior of the body Housefly Note: There should be one less step than the total number of organisms to be identified in your dichotomous key.
21
Sample Stations – Population Density
Measure sample area Determine population density for symbols Assign an organism to symbols Form a food chain Evaluate sample – predict techniques, etc.
22
Sample Station – Dichotomous Key
Have specimens of leaves Formulate a key or use a key to identify specimens
23
Sample Station - Measurement
Identify range, capacity, incrementation Do measurement – estimate last digit
24
Sample Station – Experiment Analysis
Analyze the design of the experiment Identify variables Explain results – form conclusions
25
Sample Station – Microscopy
Determine the diameter of the field and the length of one cell in mm and convert to mcm.
26
Sample Station – Data Analysis
Making hypotheses Food web analysis Eating habit analysis Predictions and conclusions Inferences
27
Sample Station – pH Determine the pH of various solutions using either pH probe or pH test papers.
