For this project, you'll need to decide on a particular object of natural science to study and collect observations for5 days.To avoid ethical problems,there's aNO PEOPLE OR ANIMALSrule, so...

1) An APA title page

2) An Introduction that:

• States the purpose of the study




• Outlines an observational protocol




• States the methods of data collections




• Establishes a hypothesis

3 For each day, do the following:

1. Document the date (and time, when relevant)




2. Collect and include photographic evidence. Label each image as'Figure x'and provide a brief description of what the Figure shows (i.e.Figure 1: Banana exposed to sunlight). Make sure the label is italicized and placed underneath the image.




3. Write a description of your object of study and its status.




4. Generate questions for future research.

4) Write a paper(minimum of two pages)that includes the following sections:

1. 
   
   
   Description:Write a description of your object of study. Refrain from rationalizing or speculating about behavior in this section -- simply write the observations that are most important to give a clear picture of what you studied and how you studied it. Make use of time measurements and physical measurements such as weight, size, and distance.The description portion of your Narrative is an encapsulation of what happened over the course of 5 days (your daily entries) -- overall what changes occurred? You can also use this space to recap the methods you utilized, go into why you chose these methods, and mention the overall conditions of your observation. It is a purely objective and unbiased section -- there's no opinion involved.

   
   
   
   

   
   




2. 
   
   
   Speculation:Assert suggestions as to why certain behaviors emerged in your object of study. You might begin by deciding which behaviors most surprised you or seem most interesting to you. You might also use the speculation section as a place to begin thinking about future questions that could be explored as a follow-up to your observations. The speculation portion of your Narrative restates your hypothesis, evaluates the hypothesis in light of the data, asserts suggestions as to how and why certain behaviors emerge, explains why the hypothesis was refuted/confirmed based on logical and consistent reasoning from the description, and states directions for future research (potential research questions/hypotheses)

GUIDELINES AND GRADING

• 
  
  
  Length:Your Observational Logbook should be at least 1200 words.




• 
  
  
  Format:APA, follow the Student Example for formatting. If you need further guidance, you can look at the Observational Logbooks described on pp. 228-246 of your textbook.




• 
  
  
  Submission: Word Doc or PDF




• 
  
  
  Turnitin: Your submission will be reviewed with Turnitin, a plagiarism-checking tool.




• 
  
  
  Rubric: Use the rubric below as a checklist and to see how your assignment will be graded.
  My assignment is based off bean sprout growth, you don't have to include any picture. this is a summary of my experiment:
  
  
  
  

  Day 1
  A set of six fresh yellow bananas.
  The bananas' peels are bright yellow with no browning spots.
  No changes were observed.
  Weight of the bananas was 500 grams.

  
  
  
  

  The bananas are observed at 9pm EST.
  Day 5:
  A set of six brown bananas, molded and decomposing.
  The bananas have turned brown and are covered with black spots.
  Changes: The bananas have become brown and mushy, with black spots on the peel.
  Weight of the bananas is 180 grams.

  
  
  
  

  The bananas are observed at 9pm EST
  Future Research Questions:
  What is the best temperature to keep the bananas fresh?
  When does the banana start to turn brown under room/fridge temperature?
