Student Assignments amp Resources

2011-2012

LCPS Science Research Project (SRP) Information Loudoun County Public Schools Science Programs foster and promote scientific inquiry The process is formalized

in Honors Earth Science Honors Biology and Independent Science Research Although completion of a Science

Research Project is a key component of these classes any LCPS student is welcomed and encouraged to participate

The mentoring of student science research is a shared responsibility of all high school science staff

9th

Grade Honors Earth Science

Students begin learning the research skills needed to complete a Science Research Project such as ―fair test

experimenting writing data collection and statistics Students develop a research question and hypothesis for a

project completed in Honors Biology

10th

Grade Honors Biology

Students complete Science Research Projects following ISEF guidelines

Independent Science Research


Selection of Students to Attend RSEF

Each high school can send 17 projects to the Loudoun County Regional Science Fair (The LCPS Academy of

Science can send 14 projects) The selection process is determined by each school The criteria for the selection

process (school fair teacher committee etc) will be submitted in writing to the LCPS Science Office by

September 26 2011 and shared with students conducting a science research project

School Science Fair and Symposium

Science Departments are encouraged to have a School Science Fair Exhibition andor Symposium Even if a local

fair does not determine who attends the RSEF this is an opportunity for all students to exhibit their work This

could also serve as a forum for 9th graders to share their research ideas Students in other science classes could

display their class projects The date of the local fair is independent of the RSEF and decided by the schoollsquos

Directions Complete the following sections regarding your science project proposal Model your SRP 1

assignment after this document or simply use it electronically as a template for your specific project proposal DO

NOT answer every single bullet point Use the bullet points to guide your proposal writing and simply put the

information below each heading Be sure to number your procedure list however The work is expected to be

typed in 12-sized Times New Roman font Do not include any personal pronouns in your assignment (ie I

you we my) You may not start your researchexperiment until the assignment has been graded and approved by

your teacher andor schoollsquos SRP committeeScience Department

TOPIC CATEGORY

Refer to ISEF Guidelines to determine which scientificcompetition category your project best fits

See Page 5 of the ISEF rules on the following website

o ISEF website httpwwwsocietyforscienceorgisefstudentsresearch_categoriesasp

TITLE

The title should describe your experiment It may be in the form of a question or a statement

Example

o How does _________ affect ___________

IV DV

o The Effect of ___________ on ______________

IV DV

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMPURPOSE

What is the question you are trying to answer or the problem you are trying to solve (this may be

similar to the title)

In addition to writing the problem give a brief description of why the problem is scientifically

significant The purpose of the experimentresearch

HYPOTHESIS

What is the prediction or guess about the outcome of the experiment

Is the prediction logical Is the hypothesis high school level No I you we

This statement should be written in future tense using an ―Ifthen or prediction format

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

What will be changedaltered in the experiment

DEPENDENT VARIABLE

What will be measured

Include how the dependent variable will be measured and in what metric units

Helpful Hint How does __________________ affect _________________

(independent variable) (dependent variable)

20

CONTROL GROUP

What will be used as a standard for comparison The control is the standard to which all experimental

groups are compared

The control represents the ―normal situation or the condition that is typically used and not altered in

any way

CONSTANTS

What things in the testing environment will stay the ―same for all parts of your experiment

LITERATURE REVIEW

Information to include here should come from the guided reading exercises (Topic Development SRP C) as you

read related literature (sourcesreferences) about your topic to determine relevant subtopics as well as previous

research andor experiments conducted by others on your topic

Based on the above address the following so you can continue to develop your experimental design further

What topics and subtopics will be researched in the library or using on-line databases

What background information is needed to design your experiment

This may be in the form of questions that need to be researched to support the experimental problem

PROCEDURES

Using numerical steps write a general procedure for the experiment This is a work in progress You

will probably have to edit your procedure several times as you develop your experimental design

throughout 9th grade and early on in 10

th grade Do the BEST you can at this point Refer to the rubric

as well to help you

The steps need to be as specific as possible and should include all safety precautions quantities units

of measurement scientific names crucial steps that an experimenter needs to perform to correctly

(error free) conduct the experiment

Try to write the procedure as if someone was performing it for the first time

Things to remember before presenting the proposal to your teacher

1- Is the answer to your problemquestion already known

o Can the answer be found in a textbook or science article

2- Do you think this proposal idea is interesting to others

3- Can the problem be experimentally tested andor tested safely

4- Can the results be presented in metric units

5- Are the materials amp equipment readily available to you or do you need to purchase some items How

much will this cost Where will I get the items

6- Is the experiment repeatable Keep in mind that at least 15 or more trials per variablecondition will

need to be completed to make the results statistically valid

7- Can the experiment be completed in the fall or winter months If not you will need to plan ahead get

early approval from the schoolrsquos SRP committeeScience Department and begin your experiment

during the springsummer between Honors Earth Science and Honors Biology

8- You may need to follow additional teacher guidelines instructing you to get signaturessuggestions

from other teachers FOLLOW DIRECTIONS

SRP 2a Setting up the SRP Paper using an Electronic Template Document Name

Setting up the SRP Paper using an Electronic Template Document

Dear Student andor Parent

The SRP Paper from start to finish is a continuous flowing document and additions and edits are made

to this document throughout the project in 9th

and 10th

grade

Your teacher can provide you with an electronic template to help you set up your SRP Paper document

You can model your SRP Paper document after this example or simply use the electronic version as your

template which is HIGHLY suggested

Your SRP Paper document is a work in progress and each SRP assignment builds on the next and is

placed in this continuous document You will not (for the most part) have single documents for each SRP

assignment they will mostly be placed into this document

For example SRP 3 Literature Review is placed on the appropriate pages of the document template

and saved Then SRP 4 Materials and Procedures are placed on the appropriate pages of the

document template and saved SRP 6 a revision and final copy of the materials and procedures is

simply asking you to revise within the document and savehellipSRP 6 is not separate from SRP 4hellipit is

simply a revision of 4 within the same document Likewise SRP 7 is a revision of all SRP assignments

done thus farhelliphelliphellipso open your continuous document you have been working on and make sure all

editsrevisions are complete and saved If you do not understand this please see your teacher

immediately

How to use the electronic template to set up your continuous SRP Paper Document

1 Open up the SRP Paper template document that your teacher gave to you

2 Save this document using SAVE AS in the following manner

your first name your last name SRPpapertemplatedoc

Ex JohnSmithSRPpapertemplatedoc

3 Make sure the margins are still 1 inch on all sides and that there are page numbers in the upper right corner

except for page 1 If there is a page number on page 1 go to insert page numbers and Deselect page 1 so it

does not show on your document Page 1 should be the title page and you do not want a page number on it

So page 2 should be the Table of Contents and it should have a 2 in the upper right hand corner

4 If you followed the directions above (1-3) then your SRP Paper document will be very easy to maintain

and edit because all the formatting has been done for you Now you just have to fill in the pages with the

required information This is where all the SRP assignments come in Each assignment will tell you how

to fill in the pages of this continuous SRP document SRP A B C D 1 2a 2b 3 4 will be done in 9th

grade (Honors Earth Science) and 5-14 will be done in 10th grade (Honors Biology) If you did not take

Honors Earth Science then ALL assignments will be done in Honors Biology (9th or 10

th graders)

SRP 2b Taking ResearchReferenceResource Notes Name

amp Citing Sources Date PeriodBlock


Taking Research Notes (Part I) and Citing SourcesReferences (Part II) Due date __________

Directions Part I

The following list contains directions and HintsTips for Taking Notes from your SourcesReferences (ie

the Literature that you are reviewingreading and MAY use in your Literature Review section of your SRP

Paper) A note-card method has been used in previous years and may still be used however this method

is more up to date and can be done electronically

All of your notes from readingreviewing related literature (referencessources) should be recorded

in the following manner

1 All notes are to be typed using the Resource Information Sheet as a guide (See pages 29-30)

2 All notes need to be a summary of what is found in each sourcereference These notes may range from a

paragraph to several pages The idea is to summarize as much relevant information as possible for each source

3 Some sources may repeat information that has already been read and summarized continue to repeat writing the

information Information that is repeated in several sources can be considered to be very reliable In your Literature

Review section of your SRP Paper you will mention that the same findings were found in several sources and you

can list those sources because you have taken proper notes denoting this

4 Things to look for while taking notes on each of your sources

Previous research done within your topic or sub-topics

What is already known about the area or field of research within your topicsub-topics

Define unfamiliar terms that are relevant to your experiment

Explain unique procedures that might be required in your experiment

See how your projectexperiment relates to or expands on previous research

5 Do not copy statements down word for word Summarize ideas and record facts that are relevant to your

topicsub topic and experiment

6 If you are taking a direct quote from a source be sure to copy it exactly and place it within quotation marks so

that you will remember that it was a direct quote

7 A minimum of 10 sources (references) needs to be used and mentioned (cited) in your Literature Review section

of the SRP Paper So initially taking information from MORE THAN 10 sources is best in case you donlsquot use

some information Remember 10 sources is the MINIMUM

8 What are valid scientific sources (references)

Authorlsquos name and publish date is readily apparent

Only one specialized encyclopedia can be used

Journal articles found in scientific magazines Use the database information provided through Loudoun

County Public Schools as a resource (website and passwords listed on SRP C)

Source is recent or no more than 9 years old

Some examples of invalid sources are Google Askjeevescom Wikipedia and general encyclopedias such a

Americana You may use wikilsquos as a starting point but you need to follow their links and referenceshellipyou cannot

simply cite wikilsquos as a primary source (continued on next page)

26

9 Numerically catalog each summary and source (1-10) For example the first sourcereference you look at and

take notes from will be 1 the second will be 2 and so on This way if you have multiple pages of notes or

multiple note cards you donlsquot have to write the source info again just simply put 1 or 2 etc

10 Suggestions for gathering information from sources other than printed or web sources

Contact manufacturers of products involved in your research Manufacturers are listed in the

Consumer Resource Handbook in your schoollsquos library or science department

Contact associations of people interested in your topic The Encyclopedia of Associations in the

school library lists them by topic

Call CountyStateFederal government agencies of offices Phone numbers for most offices are in

the blue pages of the phone book Ask them to send you any information they might have on your

subject or if they can put you in touch with someone else

E-mail faculty members at local colleges and universities to ask for advice and information

Directions Part II

All assignments throughout the year are to include a proper references page (previously called

Bibliography) using the APA documentation style Below are the guidelines you should follow and

examples of how to write references

All citations within the text and reference entries are to follow the form given in The Publication Manual of the

American Psychological Association (Fifth Edition)

Writing the Literature Review Section of the SRP Paper

Due date __________

Directions This section can be called Literature Review Background Information Background Research or

Introduction Basically you have already gathered reviewed and taken notes on a lot of literature

(sourcesreferences) on your topic Now you need to put together a ldquoreviewrdquo or summary of all the information

making sure to use information that pertains to your specific experimentproject This will be typed on the

appropriate pages of your continuous SRP Paper Document that you set up in SRP 2a It should have at least

1000 words and includes three major components

1 Introduction of your topic (refer to notes from SRP 2b) 1

st and possibly 2

nd paragraph of the Lit Review section of your SRP Paper document

Introduces the topic and motivates the reader to care about this problem

The introductory paragraph(s) should very generally describe what your paper will discuss and should end in a very

specific thesis statement (main idea)

Introduction should be about frac14 of the Literature Review section of your SRP Paper

2 Supporting Paragraphs (refer to notes from SRP 2b)

After the introduction paragraph(s)hellipthese are your ―body or supporting paragraphs Describe what is known about the problem by citing previous research (methods results) in the field

Examine the problem and select relevant sub-problems to discuss Each sub problem is a paragraph

You may want to use the box method to help you organize your paragraphs before you write See diagram below

Supporting Paragraphs should be about frac12 of the Literature Review section of your SRP Paper

―Box Method of organizing the supporting paragraphs

Get some 3 x 5 inch index cards

On each card write a sub-topic that needs to be included in the body portion of the

paper This may be something discovered during note-taking while reading literature

in SRP 2 or a part of the experimental design Each of these ―sub-topics represents a

part or paragraph of the Literature Review section of your SRP Paper

Once all of the important sub-topics have been written on cards organize the cards in a

way that logically ―flows Each of these cards can represent one or more supporting

paragraphs

Remember that each paragraph needs to flow into the next so transition sentences and

phrases need to be used

Introduction

Avoid first do this and then do thishelliplsquo

Include how your project differs from previous research

This Paragraph should be about frac14 of the Literature Review section of your SRP Paper

Pictorial Version of 1-3 above

One paragraph

summarizing

your approach

The most general information for your topic goes first

Information more specific to your experiment next

previous research specific to your topic

35

General formatting

If you set up your SRP Paper using the template most formatting will already be done for you

You will be graded on formatting as well as content

1 margins all around

Times New Roman font double-spaced 12 pt size of font

Write in passive voice ―Distilled water was added hellip instead of ―I added distilled water hellip

No repeat no personal pronouns ndash I we my you etc

Write out numbers such as ―three studies but not ―5 mL

No contractions such as canlsquot wonlsquot etc

Spell out all abbreviations the first time you use them ie Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Write scientific names correctly ie Canis lupis or Canis lupis

Indent paragraphs 5 spaces Use correct paragraph construction (topic sentences supporting statements

closing statement)

Use statements instead of questions

Proof read Spellcheck cant fined awl airers

If you need help be sure to see your teacher before the due date

Citations

you have followed the guidelines below In addition to making these final edits please also include a

procedure for how you will statistically analyze your dataresults See guidelines below in 3 Your

teacher should have already discussed statistics with you Helpful hints and tips on statistical analysis

are located on page 50 and in appendix B


items listed below

do not number items






2 PROCEDURES your procedure should be written in the following format and should include all

of the items listed below

numbered steps





exactly






Identify a control




3 Statistical Analysis Plan You need to include in your procedures a section that includes the

following (see pages 50 and appendix B for help and hints) (You may also see your science teacher or a math

teacher for help with statistics)

Type(s) of data you are collecting (Qualitative OR Quantitative OR Both)

Level of Measurement (nominal ordinal ratio interval)

Statistical Tests you plan to use (t-test chi-square Pearson R correlation ANOVA etc) (continued on next page)

50

Statistical Analysis

When you are planning your procedure you need to think about what statistical analysis test (s) you plan on doing

with your data You need to be certain you are collecting appropriate data that will satisfy a statistical analysis of

your experimental results Without statistical analysis of your data your results are not scientifically sound or valid

and you cannot support or refute your hypothesis with a level of significance

Types of DataLevel of Measurement

You need to consider the type(s) of data you have in your experiment To determine the type see below

Qualitative data are placed into categories that may be discrete categories represented by word or number labels It

can also be measurements made with a nonstandard scale with unequal intervals

Levels of Measurement

NOMINAL

DATA

objects are placed into categories that cannot be ranked

(malefemale yesno or brown black red hair)

ORDINAL DATA objects are placed into categories that can be ranked

(Mohrsquos hardness scale or animal activity ranked 1- 5)

Quantitative data consists of numbers representing counts or measurements made using a scale with equal intervals


RATIO DATA data collected using a scale with equal intervals and with an

absolute zero (temp velocity)

INTERVAL

DATA

using a scale with equal intervals but no absolute zero

(temp change pH)

Statistical Tests

1 The t-test (or Analysis of Variance) An analysis of variance is used when you have two or more groups and

you want to compare measurements of each group The t-test analyzes the relationship between two groups

This is used with quantitative data

2 The Chi-square test This test is used when you have counts that can be placed into yes or no categories or

other simple categories such as quadrants This is used with qualitative data

3 The Pearson R Correlation The Pearson R Correlation allows you to test how the values of one event or

object relates to the values of another event or object This is used with quantitative data

4 ANOVA An ANOVA is an analysis of testing the equality of three or more

Population means of analyzing sample variances This is used with quantitative data

Note there are more types of statistical tests that may work better for your data collection See your science

teacher or a math teacher that teaches statistics for help

Quantitative Qualitative

Inferential Statistics t-Test (t) Pearson R

Correlation

ANOVA

Chi- Square (x2)

Due Date ___________

Directions Open up your continuous SRP Paper Document and add in your text for the Results and

Conclusions sections Be sure to follow the guidelines below Your results section should include data

tables (mean or average values NOT raw data) as well as statistical tables and graphs (Again for help

setting up tables or with statistical analysis see Appendix B)

RESULTS

The results section of your SRP Paper includes the 3 parts listed below

SUMMARY The Results section is a Summary of the datastatistical tests in paragraph form and should

include at least the following items

Topic Sentence

Identification of Variables and Control Group

Whether the data (DV) was qualitative (continuous) or quantitative (nominal or

ordinal)

A description of the statistics done (what tests did you do T-test ANOVA Chi-

square Pearson R correlation etc)

Include the numbers for the means (averages) for each group Ex ―The means for

organic and inorganic fertilizer were 236 cm and 356 cm respectively

The null hypothesis (remember this means that the IV will have no affect on the

DV)

State whether the null hypothesis was accepted or rejected

Remember hypotheses are accepted or rejected based on the P value only ―The

means of the experimental groups were significantly different (Plt005) ―The __

group was statistically different from the control with a Plt001) ―There was no

statistically significant difference between the means of ____ and _____ (Pgt005)

Whether the alternative hypothesis was supported or not supported The alternative

hypothesis is your original hypothesis ndash Make sure you review your original

hypothesis and do not change it to match your experimental outcome

You should refer to your statistical table(s) (no raw data) For example ―As

shown in Table 1helliphellip) Make sure your table is labeled Table 1 (or 2 etc) with

a descriptive table mentioning the IV and DV Ex Table 1 Put title herehellip

Refer to your graph in the same way except graphs are called Figures and their

titles are on the bottom of the graph Ex Figure 1 Put title herehellip

This section should be 1-2 pages

TABLES

Make a table(s) for your raw data as well as a summary of the statistics done (See

examples in Appendix B page 91)

Your raw data goes in the data section of your notebook but NOT in the results

section of your SRP Paper ONLY the summary of statistics goes in the results

section of the SRP Paper and on your Display Board (Again see Appendix B

page 91 for examples of statistical tables)





GRAPHS

Can be either a line graph or a bar graph Line graphs show trends or relationships


Do not make line or bar graphs for RAW data Only graph the means (averages)

for each variable or condition you are testing as well as the control group (s)

The independent variable goes on the X-axis the dependent variable goes on the Y-

axis Label axes with names and units Include a key Titles go below the graph

typed in ALL CAPS


Use software packages to create graphs when possible No graphs are to be done on

loose leaf paper with hand drawn lines (See directionshintsexamples in

Appendix B on how to use excel and graphing calculators)

Tables and Graphs go after your Results Summary text


67

CONCLUSIONS

The conclusions section of your SRP Paper includes the items listed below

What was the purposesignificance of the experiment

Claim ndashWas the experimental (alternative) hypothesis supported or note supported (never

proved)

Give Evidence for the claimmdashrefer to the data and statistical tests This is an important

explanationmdashthe main purpose of the conclusion Explain how the data support the claim

Never leave it up to your reader to draw connections

Tell us the science behind why the IV had this effect (or lack thereof) on the

DV Use the evidence in the Literature Review section of your SRP Paper to

support your conclusions That is why you wrote the Literature Reviewhellipso

refer back to it

If applicable stating and explaining the mathematical relationship between the IV and DV

Brief analysis of uncertainty

Systematic error

Random error

Analysis of limitations - limitations of the instrumentationmethods available

Generalizability of results ndash can your results be generalized to all humans all insects all

types of sports balls all foods that contain vitamin C hellip

Future Directions

Improvements to the procedure sample size etc (be realistic)

Improvements to the statistical analysis

Questions raised from your research (future direction for research in this area)


Tips Refer to your aimshypothesis ndash donlsquot lose sight of the goal

Never make a claim without evidence from your experiment or several other previous experiments

Take yourself out of it No third person (No ―I) no subjective statements

Donlsquot be afraid to admit that your hypothesis wasnlsquot supported Some of the greatest discoveries come when the

results are unexpected

If your hypothesis is not supported do not use the evaluation purely to explain why the experiment ―failed

instead consider what might have gone wrong or why the IV really had no effect on the DV as well as what new

directions you might go in assuming that you didnlsquot ―mess up

Donrsquot overstate the significance of your findings but do admit to success

Be concise This is not creative writing class Stick to the facts and findings and relate it back to your Literature

Review (what other experiments or research has documented in the past)

Dear _______________________________________

Wow You did a great job on the following aspects of this assignment

After reading this I had a few questions

I would be happy to help you work on the following areas Please make an appointment with me ASAP

71

SRP 12 Abstract Name Date PeriodBlock

Science Research Project Abstract

Due Date ___________

The main purpose for writing a science project abstract is to give both you and the reader a very brief summary

and overview of your project If written well the abstract can tie your project together and most importantly it

will give your project a sense of continuity and clarity

Begin by writing in Microsoft Word

At the top of the paper follow the format below

The Title of the Project (Do NOT use all caps) ---- title

John Smith ---- name

Park View High School Sterling VA ---- school name city state

A couple of main points to keep in mind as you write the abstract

1 Abstracts should be single-spaced using 12-point Times New Roman font

2 The abstract can be a maximum of 250 words

3 Single spaced

4 Summarize everything do not burden the reader with too much content

5 Proof read for content and spelling (particularly your name)

6 Do not put separate headings within the text

7 Do not use the first person (I My)

The following is a suggested outline for writing the abstract

(Do not put these bold headlines within the abstract These are for guidance only)

Theme and Purpose In just a few sentences present the main area to which this study relates and give the Purpose of the study or

experiment (Spend some time thinking about how to say this The trick here is to say something (in a few

words) that can capture the imagination and interest of the reader without saying too much)

Methodology Briefly describe the project Include the IV DV and control groups If you used ―subjects (volunteers)

give a brief overview of them ( of males of females age range etc) Also give a brief overview of the

procedure

Results Highlight the most important findings of the study Include numbers ndash mean or mode for each variable or

condition and control group Make sure to include metric units and describe statistical tests performed on

your data

Conclusions State the alternative (your or ―experimental hypothesis) and say whether it was supported or not supported

based on the statistical tests performed to show significance Briefly describe what the results meanhellipDid

the independent variable influence the dependent variable If possible relate this to the purpose of the study

Report any major sources or error if there were any Otherwise do not state any

Further research Note any further questions which have arisen from your project Only include questions that can be used for

further researchprojectsexperiments This is an incredibly important part of this abstract This tells the

reader that you recognize the limits of your study and that you can see other problems and questions that can

be turned into studies For example State that ―Further research could explorehelliphellip

APPENDIX B Statistics for Science Research Hints Tips Examples

Scientists analyze data collected in an experiment to look for patterns or relationships among variable If we think we see a

pattern or a relationship we must complete one more step before we can be sure of the results In order to determine that the

patterns we observe are real and not due to chance and our own preconceived notions we must test the perceived pattern for

significance

Statistical analysis allows scientists to test whether or not patterns are real and not due to chance or preconceived notions of

the observer We can never be 100 sure but we can set some level of certainty to our observations A level of certainty

accepted by most scientists is 95 We will be using tests that allow us to say we are 95 confident in our results

STEP ONE Types of Data 1 Qualitative - data using non-standard scales (descriptions of leaf quality) Qualitative data are placed into categories that

may be discrete categories represented by word or number labels It can also be measurements made with a nonstandard scale

with unequal intervals


NOMINAL DATA objects are placed into categories that cannot be ranked

(malefemale or brown black red hair)

ORDINAL DATA objects are placed into categories that can be ranked (Mohrsquos

hardness scale or animal activity ranked 1- 5)

2 Quantitative - measurements made using a scale with equal intervals (temp of water in Celsius degrees) Quantitative data

consists of numbers representing counts or measurements




INTERVAL DATA using a scale with equal intervals but no absolute zero (temp

change pH)

Decide which of the above types of data you have collected and record here ____________________________

STEP TWO Descriptive Statistics Type of Descriptive Statistic Quantitative

Interval Ratio

Qualitative

Nominal Ordinal

Central Tendency - the most typical Mean Mode Median

Variation - spread of data Range

Variance

Standard Deviation

Frequency Distribution

Mode value that occurs most often (in a tie use both)

Median middle value when ranked highest to lowest

x Mean mathematical average

Range difference between the smallest and largest average

Variance average squared distance from the mean (how spread out the values in a set of data are)

SX Standard Deviation a measure of how closely the individual points of data

cluster around the mean

Frequency Distribution of cases falling into each category of the variable

n Number number of data points

Use the table above to decide which type of descriptive statistics you will do and list them here

STEP FOUR

Inferential Statistics Inferential statistics are done to determine if the data is statistically significant They limit the possibility that the data

differences occurred by random chance or due to some unknown uncontrolled variable If the data is shown to be statistically

significant than the data differences can be explained by changes in the independent variable

Statistical Tests

1 The t-test (or Analysis of Variance) An analysis of variance is used when you have two or more groups and you

want to compare measurements of each group The t-test analyzes the relationship between two groups

2 The Chi-square test This test is used when you have counts that can be placed into yes or no categories or other

simple categories such as quadrats

3 The Pearson R Correlation The Pearson R Correlation allows you to test how the values of one event or object

relates to the values of another event or object

86



Correlation

Chi- Square (x2)

Decide which of the inferential statistics you will be doing calculate your Degrees of Freedom

Record here Stats ____________________Degrees of Freedom ______________

Level of Significance - We will use 005 which means that the probability

of error in the research is 5100 (95)

df Degrees of Freedom - Represents the total number of observations in a

sample

To calculate

For t-test df = (n1-1) + (n2-1)

For Chi-square test df = (rows ndash 1) (columns ndash 1) For Pearson R correlation df = (n-2) subtract 2 from the number

of comparisons made

μ Null Hypothesis - Basically states that there is no difference between the

mean of your control group and the mean of your experimental group Therefore any

observed

difference between the two sample means occurred by chance and is not significant If you

can disprove your null hypothesis then there is a significant difference between your

control and experimental groups

STEP FIVE

Three options for your null hypothesis

μ1= μ2 This states that the two means are equal (experimental 1 and

control 2) To use this to reject your null hypothesis your

t-value must be gt table value or your x2 calculated gt x

2 table

μ1lt μ2 This states that the mean of your experimental group is lower than

the mean of the control group For example in golf the lower score is the better score To use this

to reject your null hypothesis your t-value must be lt table value or your x2 calculated gt x

2 table

μ1gtμ2 This states that the mean of your experimental groups is higher

than the mean of the control group For example plants with fertilizer grow higher than those

without To reject your null hypothesis your t-value must be gt table value or your

x2 calculated gt x

O = Observed Frequency Distribution

E = Expected Frequency Distribution

Example Mary read that bees were attracted to the color yellow as opposed to red blue or white She wondered if

crickets would show a color preference To test her hypothesis that crickets would be differentially attracted to colors she

placed 100 crickets in a container To bottom of the container was divided into four equal sections covered by red blue

yellow or white paper She observed the number of crickets on each color one hour after placing them in the container The

distribution of crickets was 30 red 40 blue 12 yellow 18 white By chance alone an equal number of crickets on each color

of paper would be expected

PEARSON R CORRELATION COEFFICIENT To calculate the Pearson R value you must use the Microsoft Excel program on the computer It can not be calculated using

the TI calculators

Calculate your t-value Chi-Square or Pearson R and record here

(Note you will have different values for each of your experimental groups)

STEP SIX

Deciding to Accept or Reject the Null Hypothesis Use the tables for the t-test and the Chi-square test to find the table value Use your calculated degrees of freedom and the

Level of Significance of 005 (95) to find the correct value

Determine if the calculated value is greater or less than the table value

For t-test Refer to null hypothesis descriptions for decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis

For Chi-square If x2 Calculated gt x

2 Table then the null hypothesis is rejected

For Pearson R Correlation If the calculated value is greater than the table value

reject the null hypothesis

If the r = 000 there is zero correlation

If the r = 100 there is a perfect correlation

Values can be + or - Positive values indicate increase in X

corresponds to increase in Y Negative values indicate increases in one value are associated with

decreases in the other

Decide whether to accept or reject your null hypothesis

Accept _________ Reject ________

STEP SEVEN

What Does it Mean to Accept or Reject the Null Hypothesis

The null hypothesis generally states that there is no significant difference between your two sets of data If it is accepted it

means that any differences in your data are not significant and probably due to random chance If the null hypothesis is

rejected it means that there is a significant difference in your two sets of data and these differences are due to the factors

(independent variable) that you changed

Make a statement regarding your null hypothesis

For example (from above)At df = 3 = 005 x2 = 7815 for significance the calculated x

2 of 186 gt 7815 and is significant

The null hypothesis is rejected and the research that crickets would be differentially attracted to colors was supported

ANOVA Statistical Tests

(to compare 3 or more groups)

3 For explanation of ANOVA see Wikipedia or below paragraphs or below websites

httpwwwstatsglaacukstepsglossaryanovahtml

httpwwwstatisticallysignificantconsultingcomAnovahtm

ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) Like the two-sample t-test ANOVA lets us test hypotheses about the

mean (average) of a dependent variable across different groups

While the t-test is used to compare the means between two groups ANOVA is used to compare

means between 3 or more groups

There are several varieties of ANOVA such as one-factor (or one-way) ANOVA two-factor (or two-

way) ANOVA and so on and also repeated measures ANOVA The factors are the independent

variables each of which must be measured on a categorical scale - that is levels of the independent

variable must define separate groups

One-Way ANOVA Example

One-factor ANOVA also called one-way ANOVA is used when the study involves 3 or more levels of a

single independent variable For example we might look at average test scores for students exposed to one

of three different teaching techniques (three levels of a single independent variable)

ANOVA Statistics

The null hypothesis for ANOVA is that the mean (average value of the dependent variable) is the same

for all groups The alternative or research hypothesis is that the average is not the same for all groups

The ANOVA test procedure produces an F-statistic which is used to calculate the p-value As described

in the topic on Statistical Data Analysis if p lt 05 we reject the null hypothesis We can then conclude

that the average of the dependent variable is not the same for all groups

With ANOVA if the null hypothesis is rejected then all we know is that at least 2 groups are different

from each other In order to determine which groups are different from which post-hoc t-tests are

performed using some form of correction (such as the Bonferroni correction) to adjust for an inflated

probability of a Type I error

Steps for Using Excel for Statistics

1 Enter the data above into your Excel spreadsheet It should look like the spreadsheet below

2 Set up a table below your data table for your descriptive statistics You should include mean

range variance and standard deviation

93

3 Click in the cell for the mean of the control

4 Click on Formula on the Tool Bar Click on fx and the insert function will box will open This

will allow you to insert a formula into the spreadsheet The Mean of a set of numbers is the

Average In the select category box select Statistics Under select a function select Average and

then click OK

5 A box titled Function Arguments will open

94

6 Take the mouse and highlight the numbers A dotted line will appear around the column

7 You will see that the average has been calculated to be 4385333 Click OK The average will be

transferred to the mean cell in the spreadsheet

8 Repeat steps 3 ndash 7 to calculate the mean for the data for Fertilizer A The mean value you

calculate for Fertilizer A should be 5302667

9 To calculate the Range subtract the smallest number from the largest number Enter the value

into the cell for that value

10 To calculate the variance repeat steps 3 ndash 7 selecting VAR from the menu

11 To calculate the standard deviation repeat steps 3 ndash 7 selecting STDEV from the menu

95

12 Your calculations should give you the following values

Range 96000 108000

Variance 57627 115192

Standard

Deviation 24006 33940

13 We are going to calculate a value for the t-test In the area below the standard deviation

value type the word T-Test

14 Click on the cell next to the T-Test cell

15 Click on Formula on the Tool Bar Click on fx and the insert function will box will open

16 In the selection area select TTEST Your screen should look like this

96

17 Click on OK Your screen should look like this

18 Click in the box next to Array1 Highlight the numbers in the control column

19 Click in the box next to Array2 Highlight the numbers in the Fertilizer A column

20 Click in the box next to Tails If you have a one-tailed test type in one If you have a two-tailed

test type in two

21 What is the meaning of a two-tailed test If you are using a significance level of alpha = 005 a

two-tailed test allots half of your alpha to testing the statistical significance in one direction and half

of your alpha to testing statistical significance in the other direction This means that 025 is in each

tail of the distribution of your test statistic When using a two-tailed test regardless of the direction of

the relationship you hypothesize you are testing for the possibility of the relationship in both

directions

22 For a one tailed test you are testing for the possibility of the relationship in either the left-tail area

or the right tail area

97

23 We are doing a two-tailed test so you need to enter a two next to tails

24 Click in the box next to Type If you are doing a paired test enter 1 If you are doing a t-test in

which the two samples have equal variances you would type a 2 If the two samples have unequal

variances type 3 Our variances are not equal so type 3

25 Your screen should look like this

26 Click on OK

27 You get a value of 646129E-09 This is the probability that the results happened by chance

Since the p-value is so small you would reject the null hypothesis

98

Doing Chi-Square in EXCEL

There is a function in EXCEL called CHITEST CHITEST does not return a value for Chi-Square It

skips that step and returns a probability that you will get a Chi-Square at least as high as the one you

calculate from the observed values and predicted values The problem is that the CHITESTlsquos degrees of

freedom are not always calculated correctly Depending on the case you can lose one or two degrees of

freedom using CHITEST Because the CHITEST is basing its answer on less than the correct degrees of

freedom it gives you an inappropriately large value for the probability

After Chi-Square has been calculated by hand you can use the CHIDIST worksheet function to make a

judgment about the Chi-Square value

1 Select a cell to store the result

2 From the Statistical Functions menu select CHIDIST to open the Functions Arguments dialog box for

CHIDIST

3 In the Functional Arguments dialog box type the values asked for in the box

4 In the X box type the calculated Chi-Square value

For an example put 36 in the X box

5 In the Deg_freedom box type the degrees of freedom After typing the degrees of freedom

the dialog box shows the one-tailed probability of obtaining at least this value of Chi-Square

For the example we are doing type 25 for the degrees of freedom

106

6 The Functional Arguments dialog box should look like this

7 Click OK to close the dialog box and put the answer in the selected cell

8 The value in the dialog box is greater than 05 so the decision is not to reject the null hypothesis

107

Pearson Correlation

This is a data analysis for a t-test for a paired two sample for means

1 Enter the data for each sample into a separate data array

For example we have the before data in column B and the after data in column C

2 Select Data then Data Analysis to open the Data Analysis dialog box The Data Analysis ToolPak

must be loaded as an add-in

3 In the Data Analysis dialog box scroll down the Analysis Tools list and select t-Test Paired Two

Sample for Means

4 Click OK to open this toollsquos dialog box

108

5 In the Variable 1 Range box enter the cell range that holds the data for one of the samples Click in

the Variable 1 Range box then highlight the data in the B column The range will appear in the box


the Variable 2 Range box then highlight the data in the C column The range will appear in the box

109

7 In the Hypothesized Mean Difference box type the difference between micro1 and micro2 that Ho specifies

In this example the difference is 0

8 If the cell ranges include column headings check the Labels checkbox

These were included so the box needs to be checked

9 The Alpha box has 005 as a default Change that value if you want to use a different α

10 In the Output Options select a radio button to indicate where you want the results

For this example New Worksheet Ply was selected to put the results on a new page in the

worksheet

11 Click OK

Because New Worksheet Ply was selected a new page opens with the results

110

12 After the new page opens with the results you need to expand the columns to read the results

13 Cell B7 shows a value for the Pearson Correlation Coefficient The coefficient will be a number

between -1 and +1 It shows the strength of the relationship between the data in the first sample and the

data in the second sample

14 If this number is close to 1 high scores in one sample are associated with high scores in the other

sample and low scores in one are associated with low scores in the other If this number is close to -1

high scores in the first sample are associated with low scores in the second and low scores in the first are

associated with high scores in the second

15 If the number is close to zero the scores in the first sample are not related to scores in the second

sample

Our example gives us a value close to one

16 Cell B9 shows the degrees of freedom

17 Cell B8 shows the Ho specified difference between the population means

18 Cell B10 gives the calculated value of the test statistic

APPENDIX C Judging Guidelines

Judging for the Loudoun Regional Science and Engineering Fair is conducted using a 100-point scale with points

assigned to creative ability scientific thought or engineering goals thoroughness skill and clarity Team projects

have a slightly different balance of points that includes points for teamwork Following is a list of questions that

judges may ask for each criteria

Creative Ability (Individual - 30 Team - 25) Does the project show creative ability and originality in the questions asked

The approach to solving the problem the analysis of the data the interpretation of the data

The use of equipment the construction or design of new equipment

Creative research should support an investigation and help answer a question in an original way

A creative contribution promotes an efficient and reliable method for solving a problem When evaluating projects

it is important to distinguish between gadgeteering and ingenuity

Scientific ThoughtEngineering Goals (Individual - 30 Team - 25) For an engineering project as well as some projects in categories such as computer science or mathematical

sciences the more appropriate questions are those found in Engineering Goals

Scientific Thought Is the problem stated clearly and unambiguously

Was the problem sufficiently limited to allow a plausible approach Good scientists can identify important

problems capable of solutions

Was there a procedural plan for obtaining a solution

Are the variables clearly recognized and defined

If controls were necessary did the student recognize their need and were they correctly used

Are there adequate data to support the conclusions

Does the finalist or team recognize the datalsquos limitations

Does the finalistteam understand the projectlsquos ties to related research

Does the finalistteam have an idea of what further research is warranted

Did the finalistteam cite scientific literature or only popular literature (local newspapers Readerlsquos Digest)

Engineering Goals

Does the project have a clear objective

Is the objective relevant to the potential userlsquos needs

Is the solution workable acceptable to the potential user economically feasible

Could the solution be utilized successfully in design or construction of an end product

Is the solution a significant improvement over previous alternatives

Has the solution been tested for performance under the conditions of use

Thoroughness (Individual - 15 Team - 12) Was the purpose carried out to completion within the scope of the original intent

How completely was the problem covered

Are the conclusions based on a single experiment or replication

How complete are the project notes

Is the finalistteam aware of other approaches or theories

How much time did the finalist or team spend on the project

Is the finalistteam familiar with scientific literature in the studied field


113

Skill (Individual - 15 Team - 12) Does the finalistteam have the required laboratory computation observational and design skills to obtain

supporting data

Where was the project performed (home school laboratory university laboratory)

Did the student or team receive assistance from parents teachers scientists or engineers

Was the project completed under adult supervision or did the studentteam work largely alone

Where did the equipment come from Was it built independently by the finalist or team Was it obtained on loan

Was it part of a laboratory where the finalist or team worked

Clarity (Individual - 10 Team - 10) How clearly does the finalist discuss the project and explain the purpose procedure and conclusions Watch out

for memorized speeches that reflect little understanding of principles

Does the written material reflect the finalistlsquos or teamlsquos understanding of the research

Are the important phases of the project presented in an orderly manner

How clearly is the data presented

How clearly are the results presented

How well does the project display explain the project

Was the presentation done in a forthright manner without tricks or gadgets

Did the finalistteam perform all the project work or did someone help

Teamwork (Team Projects only- 16) Are the tasks and contributions of each team member clearly outlined

Was each team member fully involved with the project and is each member familiar with all aspects

Does the final work reflect the coordinated efforts of all team members

114

APPENDIX D Internet Safety

The Internet allows students to learn from a wide variety of resources and communicate with people all

over the world Students should develop skills to recognize valid information misinformation biases or

propaganda Students should know how to protect their personal information when interacting with others

and about the possible consequences of online activities such as social networking e-mail and instant

messaging

Students need to know that not all Internet information is valid or appropriate

Students should be taught specifically how to maximize the Internetlsquos potential while protecting

themselves from potential abuse

Internet messages and the people who send them are not always what or who they seem

Predators and cyberbullies anonymously use the Internet to manipulate students Students must learn

how to avoid dangerous situations and get adult help

Cybersafety should be addressed when students research online resources or practice other skills through

interactive sites Science teachers should address underlying principles of cybersafety by reminding

students that the senses are limited when communicating via the Internet or other electronic devices and

that the use of reasoning and logic can extend to evaluating online situations

Remind students that personal observations and opinions can be communicated on the Internet as if they

are fact Pseudoscience Activity Study in the Scientific Method

httpwwwscienceteacherorgk12resourceslessonslesson18htm

In this lesson students explore a pseudoscience topic (eg Bermuda Triangle palm reading Bigfoot)

through Internet sites They apply the scientific method while exploring the topic

Teachers can help students understand that data collected and presented on the Internet may be flawed due

to many variables including equipment malfunction human bias or presentation mechanisms

If students are using online tools for written communications address the general safety issues

appropriate for this age group

As students learn to express opinions with convincing arguments emotions likely will become heated

Students should be apprised of the dangers of cyberbullying

Additional information about Internet safety may be found on the Virginia Department of Educationlsquos

LCPS Science Research Project (SRP) Information Loudoun County Public Schools Science Programs foster and promote scientific inquiry The process is formalized

in Honors Earth Science Honors Biology and Independent Science Research Although completion of a Science

Research Project is a key component of these classes any LCPS student is welcomed and encouraged to participate

The mentoring of student science research is a shared responsibility of all high school science staff

9th

Grade Honors Earth Science

Students begin learning the research skills needed to complete a Science Research Project such as ―fair test

experimenting writing data collection and statistics Students develop a research question and hypothesis for a

project completed in Honors Biology

10th

Grade Honors Biology


Independent Science Research


Selection of Students to Attend RSEF

Each high school can send 17 projects to the Loudoun County Regional Science Fair (The LCPS Academy of

Science can send 14 projects) The selection process is determined by each school The criteria for the selection

process (school fair teacher committee etc) will be submitted in writing to the LCPS Science Office by

September 26 2011 and shared with students conducting a science research project

School Science Fair and Symposium

Science Departments are encouraged to have a School Science Fair Exhibition andor Symposium Even if a local

fair does not determine who attends the RSEF this is an opportunity for all students to exhibit their work This

could also serve as a forum for 9th graders to share their research ideas Students in other science classes could

display their class projects The date of the local fair is independent of the RSEF and decided by the schoollsquos
