  • GENERAL INFORMATION
    • Title:
      Oat Seed Lab - A Model Experiment  

       
      Resource ID: 6511
      URL: http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/oat.lesson.html
      Resource Description: Seeds are germinated in a particular environment, in the first week of the lesson, during an intensive introduction to the Nature of Science. Concurrent with that introduction, students record their daily measurements, process those data (graphically and statistically), and prepare a formal report, using sample reports as a model. The lesson will introduce the use of a simple statistical tool (t-test) to measure significant differences. Although the activity is simple and straightforward, it is most appropriate for students who are learning the appropriate way to collect data and conduct a statistical analysis of data.
