- The
final report must be written legibly in blue or
black ink; you may type or wordprocess if you
prefer.
- Use
one side of the paper only. Single space and
leave a blank line between each section.
- Make
sure you have a one-inch margin on all four sides
of the paper if you type.
- If
you wordprocess, use a standard, 12-point font
such as Times New Roman, Arial, Courier,
Helvetica, or Palatino.
- Spelling,
punctuation, and capitalization ALWAYS count.
- When
is this due?

investigated and should avoid being just a clever play on
words.)
1.
Hypothesis: If . . ., then . . ..
Write
Dr. Heidegger's hypothesis in this format. What idea was
he testing? What did he expect to see?
2.
Rationale
This
is the logic behind the hypothesis. Refer to #1 above and
explain WHY he expected to see certain results.
3.
Procedure
How
did Dr. Heidegger perform his experiment? You may write
the instructions in list or paragraph form, or you may
write a list with explanatory notes. Part of your goal
here is for someone else to be able to perform the same
experiment.
4.
Data/Observations
This
should be strictly limited to the actual collection of
data. Do not try to explain what Dr. Heidegger observed
or recorded.
5.
Analysis
How
might Dr. Heidegger have explained what happened to his friends during this experiment?
6.
Conclusion
The
conclusion must contain a reference to the hypothesis. Would Dr. Heidegger conclude that his hypothesis was correct? Why or why not? What has Dr. Heidegger learned from this experiment?
