These are Research Proposals for Evolution & Earth Systems, Fall'99. Please feel free to browse...

You can Input Your Research Proposal , and then review feedback on this page.

Peer Review is a fundamental component of doing science.To help make your projects more scientifically sound, you are being called upon to put forward your ideas, proposals, lab packets and final report as well as provide feedback to your peers.

Remember: Look at theEvolution & Earth Systems Syllabus to for details on the specifics to be included in your proposal. Make sure it is complete! USe the following as a guide!

1. Introduction

1. Purpose/Problem. What is your hypothesis?
2. What do you plan to accomplish?
3. Relevance, if any. Why is this research interesting?

2. Relevance of your research question

1. Literature Review--What have others done?
2. How does your research relate to a larger question (like the real World)?

3. Materials and Methods

1. What is your experimental design? Is it statistically sound?
2. Describe important materials and how they will be used.
3. Describe other methods. How will you involve the class in your study? Be specific!
4. Have you included a Data Sheet?
5. Include a specific time-line of research execution

4. Results (To be included in your final report)

1. Observations
2. Tables (numerical data) and figures (graphs, drawings, etc.) when appropriate

5. Discussion & Conclusions

1. Interpret your results, explaining why you got the results you did.
2. Think beyond the project. What additional questions do you have?
3. What suggestions do you have for further investigation?
