Your Third Draft The last free teacher read…
One copy • Teacher edited first draft • Teacher edited second draft • Logbook • Third draft certification form • Title page, Table of Contents, Background information with introductory paragraph research, and summary paragraph, materials and methods, Works Cited, and whatever else you can get written. The Third Draft
You must include a Table of Contents • Separate page • Put a centered header on this page – Table of Contents • Put a page number for the start of each section • That means that the pages of your paper need to be numbered – top right corner! The Table of Contents
Table of Contents Introduction/Background Information 1 Hypothesis 5 Methods and Materials 5 Data 7 Analysis 8 Conclusion 9 Acknowledgements 10 Works Cited 11 Appendix 13
Notice that there are no “pg” or “page” written by the numbers. • Notice that the numbers are the first page the item occurs on, not the range • Notice the numbers are flush right and the topics are flush left The Table of Contents
After your materials and methods section, you can add your results (data) and then your analysis of those results. • Even if you do not have all of your results, you can write about what you have so that you can get it critiqued by a teacher before the final draft that gets graded. Your Third Draft
Immediately after methods, present the data collected in the experiment in tables and/or graphs; • AND summarize the data in paragraph form. • Include statistical analysis of the data - this is the analysis (averaging, standard deviation, etc.) of the data. • Raw data is placed in the appendix in table form. Results Section
The raw data for the red ripe plum tomatoes showed pH values ranging from 4.12 to 4.46. The raw data for the canned red tomatoes showed pH values ranging from 4.27 to 4.45. The raw data for the canned red roma tomatoes showed pH values ranging from 4.17 to 4.26. For a complete table of the raw data, see Appendix B. The mean pH for the red ripe plum tomato was 4.33+/-0.10. The mean pH for the canned red plum tomatoes was 4.36+/-0.09 and the mean pH for the canned roma tomatoes was 4.20+/-0.03. The canned plum tomatoes had the highest average pH and the canned roma tomatoes had the lowest average pH. The fresh red plum tomatoes’ pH was lower than the canned version.
Table One: Average pH of Tomato Samples Fresh Red Canned Red Canned Red Plum Tomatoes Plum Tomatoes Roma Tomatoes Figure One illustrates that there is an overlap between confidence intervals of fresh red plum tomatoes, the canned red plum tomatoes, and the canned red roma tomatoes. This is interpreted to mean that the fresh red plum tomatoes pH values are not significantly different from the canned red plum tomatoes’ values and the canned red plum tomatoes’ pH values are not significantly different from the canned red roma tomatoes’ values.
Immediately after the results section is the finale of your paper. • Your discussion should flow smoothly and logically from your results. BE THOROUGH! • A complete discussion should include the questions on the next slide. • Lastly, in a final paragraph, briefly summarize your entire experiment – the conclusion. • Make sure not to introduce anything in this section that has not already been discussed in your background information.Be specific, do not generalize. Discussion/Conclusion
Separate page • Put a centered header on this page. • Include critical information that is too lengthy for the main section of the paper, such as raw data, additional tables and graphs, copies of surveys or tests, construction details and diagrams of specialized equipment. • Not all of you will have this section – depends on equipment used in experiment and data collected – See your teacher for more information. Appendix
If you have more than one appendix, label them Appendix A, Appendix B, etc. and place them on separate pages. • For your table of Contents, they can be listed separately by letter or all together Appendix
Title page – separate page • Table of Contents – separate page • Background, materials and methods, data, analysis, conclusion • Acknowledgements – separate page • Works Cited – separate page • Appendix/Appendices – separate page(s) Order of Paper
