Description

Results: The results describe the answer to your question, which is demonstrated through a table, graph and a statistic.

Make a table that lists the raw data collected (sites, treatments, observations, etc.)

Make a figure of what you compared with your treatment variable(s) and the response variable, and report the p-value of the statistical test. This figure can be drawn by hand or done in Excel. (This is the table of information we get from the graph pad website)

Write a sentence that states the numerical values and variances (error) of each of your response variables.

A sentence that states whether your statistical test supported or rejected your hypothesis.

“The p value in my test was higher than 0.05 (p=0.68). Therefore, my hypothesis that […] was rejected.”

Discussion: The discussion reiterates your question and your finding. If the hypothesis is not supported, you should discuss why you think the answer was different that you hypothesized.

Begin by reviewing the purpose, data and original question.

Did the results support or refute your original hypothesis? Why or why not?

What implications are suggested? Avoid the concept of “proof.” Hypotheses may “fail to be rejected” or may be supported, but are not proven. Results “indicate” or “demonstrate” a point, but they do not prove a point.

On which assumptions did you base your conclusions and what shortcomings do they present? What further research could be done?

Note: Error means “variance”. You are to assume that all data were collected properly. Therefore, you are required to avoid the trap of assigning “human error” as a reason you hypothesis was unsupported. This is not an acceptable reason for variance (error).

Conclusion: The conclusion discusses the fundamental points that were demonstrated, and is a brief summary reiteration of your Discussion. Organize this section around the main points from your introduction (rationale for study, etc.) and then expand on those points using your results. Write a sentence or two on how society can make changes.

DISCUSSION
Institutional affiliation
Date
The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of contaminants on plant growth by
comparing the heights from pots contaminated with oil and salt, the hypothesis was not
supported. From observations table, control grows tall with multi leaves, oil grows a little taller
with a single leaf while salt totally never grew. This is because contaminants have diverse effects
on plant growth;
• Oil
Presence of oil negatively affects the growth of plants by reduction fresh and dry biomass. Oil
has volatile hydrocarbons that contain light, they are absorbed in the leaves during
photosynthesis hence becomes Phytoxic. Oil forms a layer that forms phys...
