Conclusion for Brine Shrimp

The Brine Shrimp Lab is due Tuesday, 9/17/13.  You should include your completed Brine Shrimp Count hand-out (showing work where applicable.  Skip the last question about calculating the uncertainty of the percent hatching), the completed Planning Sheet (updated after doing the lab), and a neatly-written or typed conclusion using the requirements below.

• ›Refer to focused question (restate it) and refer to your results
• ›Use data to support your results (also using comparative words like “more”, “less”, “increase”, etc)
• ›Attempt to explain your results using scientific language and knowledge
• ›Describe at least 3 sources of uncertainty and/or limitations being specific (don’t use the term “human error”)
• Suggest at least 3 realistic and specific improvements to the investigation (matched up to uncertainty above).

This should take approximately 3-4 paragraphs:  1-2 for stating and explaining the results, 1 for describing uncertainty/limitations, and 1 for suggesting improvements.
