Documentation
Review of Literature
The Review of the Literature is a document created by every student as part of the lab report for this Passage area. This document reviews at least three studies done that are similar to the study the student is proposing.
(This is a new requirement and may not be reflected in this year's Night of Exhibition presentations)
Documentation
Documentation is dependent upon the type of research being done to answer the student's research question or to draw a conclusion based on the student's hypothesis.
Experiment
Students have several options to design experiments to help them find an answer to their research question or to test their hypotheses:
* Explore the effects of science on society. Research and discover how a particular aspect of science affects society and people’s lives. Students must present their findings in a formal paper.
* Integrate or apply science. Explain how something works or why something happens by integrating scientific concepts or principles from two or more fields of science. Students may also create a working model. Findings will be shared in a formal paper.
* Conduct experimental research based on a hypothesis. Carry out a study or experiment using a hypothesis, control, variables, and experimental design. The type and scope of analysis will depend on the data collected. Results from research involving surveys or opinion or attitude polls are derived from statistical or numerical analysis.
* Conduct naturalistic research based on case studies. Select a field of study, observe and record observations over time, then draw conclusions. Findings will be reported in a formal paper.
