Q:
SCI206-0804B-24 Biology
Assignment Name: Unit 1 Individual Project
Deliverable Length: 1-3 pages
Details: Read Scientific Inquiry, Controlled Experiments Then and Now, pages 6-7 of your textbook.
Start by observing the living species around you. Ever wonder why a pollinator is attracted to a particular flower, or what would happen to predator species if a particular prey species is eliminated? If you were a scientist you could do an experiment to answer your question.
For this assignment, choose two non-human species that interact with each other, such as bees and flowers, or predator and prey species, or two species that compete. Or, you can consider the effect of an environmental factor on living non- human organisms, such as the effects of light or sound on plants or animals, or how food preference, or nutrient quantity / quality affect plants or animals. These are just a few examples. Your observations may lead you to many other types of questions about living organisms, their interactions, and requirements for life.
Start with an Introduction/Observation and move through the steps of the Scientific Method as outlined below. Your paper should follow this format.
Remember, you don't have to actually do the experiment, just write what you would do to test your hypothesis.
Observations / Introduction: Describe your observation. Include background information about your observations that you have found using references. List and cite references using APA format.
Question: Ask a question about the observation that you have made.
Hypothesis: Write a statement that describes your explanation for the observation and question.
Prediction: What do you predict as outcomes (results) of this experiment? (An If Then Statement)
Controlled Experiment and Methods: Describe the experiment, variables to be held constant, variable to be tested, and controls. What data will be collected? Keep this simple and test only one variable at a time; holding the others constant.
Results: Give the results (data) for the experiment. This will be created (imagined) by you since you are not actually doing this experiment.
Conclusion / Discussion: Do you reject or accept the hypothesis based on the results? Discuss what this means in terms of the hypothesis, or need for additional experiments, or perhaps practical use of the results.

Such movements which are induced by external stimuli are called tropic movements. A tropic movement of plant organs in response to the source of light is known as Phototropism. The stem grows towards the direction of light, and is therefore said to exhibit positive phototropism. For instance, we have observed that shoot apices of Helianthus annus (Sunflower) plants exhibit phototropism by growing towards the direction of sunlight. <br><br>Reference: <br>Dr.Sharma,J.P.(2006).

We will then fill the pots to the top with the remainder soil and water each pot. After that, we will need to label the pots with Experiment 1 and Experiment 2. We will need to keep into consideration the necessary conditions to allow the bulbs to germinate properly, such as water, the optimum temperature level and of course oxygen for at least three days. This will need to be consistent with both pots so that we carry the experiment out equally and get accurate findings. <br> Once our roses have passed through the soil to around 2 inches we will then place the pot that is labeled Experiment 1 into the box next to the hole and the other pot which is Experiment 2 into direct sunlight so that we will have a controlled experiment. <br> For this experiment the sunlight direction is our only variable that needs to be tested. Experiment 2 will have natural sunlight with no tampering while Experiment 1 will be placed in the box with unidirectional light through the hole. We will keep both of these experiments in their places for four days without an ...
