From Hypothesis to Manuscript: Small Group Research Projects in Ecology for Introductory Biology and Ecology Courses
Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 1994, Volume 15
Abstract
This exercise, which runs over two 3-hour lab periods, is designed to stimulate creative and critical scientific thought in biology students. The emphasis is on process, not data. The exercise is preceded by a lecture on the scientific method, including such topics as hypothesis testing and experimental design. Students also have a 90-minute workshop on how to write a scientific paper and make an oral presentation.
