LABPROJECT REVIEW

DISCUSSING WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE PROJECT AND HOW IT WAS GRADED.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

• 200-300 words
• Research question (what, which, where & how)
• Explanation of your research question.
• Hypothesis (If .........., then ..............)
• Explanation of hypothesis.
• Background information. 

CHAPTER 2: M&M

• Materials: Include specific amounts, times, and measurements.
• Procedures: The level of detail should be high enough to allow someone else to duplicate your experiment, without including any unnecessary information that may overwhelm the reader.
• Data collection plan: What data will be collected, in what way and how will it be shown in the report. 

CHAPTER 3:  DATA

• All observations are cataloged and organised and clearly labeled.
• All measurements and data are shown in tables.
• All tables with numbers are converted to graphs.
• You must have 14 days of photographs for each petri-dish.
• A stop motion video.
• All pieces of data shown must be accompanied by a label en 2 sentences of information.
• Data analysis: minimum 100 words.

CHAPTER 4:  C-D-E

• Conclusion: (200- 400 words)

mention the hypothesis, is this accepted or rejected, argue with evidence from previous chapter.

• Discussion & Evaluation: (400- 600 words)

With evaluation, what could be improved on the process or this research and why?

With discussion, ideas for further or alternative research proposals and elaborations.

TEST REVIEW

Lets discuss your test step by step.

Mistakes:

Use this flow chart to find out what mistakes  you made per question. And write down each tip you come to in your notebook!           ;/  

Did I understand the question?

NO

Was the problem Language or Vocab?

VOCAB

TIP: 

STUDY THE GLOSSARY BETTER

LANGUAGE

YES

TIP: 

READ AND SPEAK MORE ENGLISH

Did I know how the answer?

YES

SORT OF

NOPE

TIP: 

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ANSWER

TIP: 

SPEND MORE TIME ON STUDYING

TIP: 

STUDY THE ASSIGNMENTS TOO

Reproduction and application without context 

Below are questions and assignments that are based on reproduction and application without a context. These belong the the categories of R and T1. Read the questions and assignments and note your answer on your answer sheet. 

• The tool is called a quadrat - 1 pnt
• The tool is used to determine plant population size - 1 pnt

• process A: fertilization - 1 pnt
• process B: germination - 1 pnt

Reproduction, application and insight in context 

The remaining assignments of this test are put in context. That means that the assignments will be centered around a given situation. These assignments can belong to any of the RTTI categories. Read the assignments first before reading the rest of the context. Write down a fully and well formulated answer on your answer sheet in the case of an open question/assignment.

Context 1: A walk in the park

Anniek and Maureen work in the city center near the park. They usually go for a walk in the park after lunch before getting back to work. It currently is spring and a lot of plants in the park are blooming. Anniek and Maureen are showing their favorite plants to each other. Flowers of both of these plants are visible in image 1

ANSWER

From the answer can be inferred that: 

• The fruits have spines with little hooks on them - 1 pnt
• That stick to animal fur so when the animal migrates, fruits will be taken along - 1 pnt

ANSWER

Context 2: The coypu an unwanted guest

Titus is an ecologist that is employed by the natural park of the Bieschbos in the Southern part of the Netherlands. His specialty is invasive species. An invasive species is a species that originally does not live in a certain ecosystem but has been introduced into a foreign ecosystem, manages to establish itself in that ecosystem and causing ecological damage to that ecosystem.

 The species Titus currently is most worried about is the coypu (see image 4). The coypu was introduced in the 1920’s of the previous century in Germany to be bred for its fur. The fur was used to create fur coats and other kind of clothing. Some of these animals escaped and because of the adaptations of the coypu, it managed survive in woodlands ecosystems with a lot of open water, much like the Biesbosch.

ANSWER

From the answer can be inferred that:

• The Eurasian bittern population will go down - 1 pnt
• Because the coypu eats away the grass, there will be less room for nests - 1 pnt 

ANSWER

ANSWER

From the answer can be inferred that:

• Introducing the stoat will cause the coypu population size go down (as the stoat hunts the coypu. - 1 pnt
• When the coypu numbers go down, there is less prey left for the stoat so stoat numbers go down too. - 1 pnt
• When there is less predator/stoat, prey/coypu will go up again. - 1 pnt

Context 3: researching plants

Shiela is a researcher that is investigating the process of photosynthesis in plants. She is interested in the influence of abiotic factors on the rate at which photosynthesis can take place.

ANSWER

X: water - 1 pnt

Y: glucose - 1 pnt

Z: (sun)light - 1 pnt

ANSWER

The research question contains the following elements:

• The influence of abiotic factors on the rate of photosynthesis - 1 pnt
• The abiotic factors are specified: carbondioxide (levels), light (intensity)and temperature - 1 pnt

• Remark
• If the answer is not formulated as a question, deduct one mark

ANSWER

The results of the following greenhouses need to be compared:

• Greenhouse 3 - 1 pnt
• Greenhouse 4 - 1 pnt

Context 4: Watching Freek’s Wilde Wereld

Daniel has a 7-year-old son who likes to watch Freek’s Wilde Wereld. They often watch this tv show on wild animals after dinner. The topic of tonight’s episode was biotic relations in an ecosystem.

ANSWER

A correct answer contains the following:

• Two names of organisms from the food web that share the same source of food - 1 pnt
• The explanation contains the notion that these two organisms eat/consume the same food - 1 pnt

ANSWER

• The relation between the clown fish and sea anemone is an example of mutualism - 1 PNT
• The explanation contains the notion that both parties benefit from the relation 1 - 1 PNT

ANSWER

From the answer can be inferred that

• The biomass/energy that the shark consumes has been produced by a producer/plant - 1 PNT
• The plant requires the energy from sunlight to produce (biomass) - 1 PNT
