Scientific Article
This assignment is meant to have you use what you learned about the scientific method in Ch1 on an article summarizing a Scientific Article. Remember that the scientific method is all about asking what, how and why. Scientists begin with with an area of interest that brings up several questions. After thinking about those questions they settle on the main one, which becomes their hypothesis. To test this hypothesis, they set up an experiment where they test different things. The data obtained from those tests are then analyzed and described in their results. Based on those results they will either conclude that the hypothesis was correct, incorrect, or that they need to do even more tests or studies. You have been emailed your assigned article. Please refer to page 11-12 of the syllabus on how to set up the paper and guidelines. You must submit this as a word document or pdf to the assignment in the weekly module so that it can be analyzed by UniCheck. The article will already have been submitted to UniCheck as well. Failure to follow the instructions can result in reduced points or a 0, for example: submitting another article or not answering questions. Late assignments will lose 1.5 points per day late. You must include the URL and article title or points will be deducted. Emailed articles or articles submitted in comments will not be accepted. The larger text refers to often overlooked rules and guidelines. These are the questions you will use to help you summarize your paper in 1-2 pages for full credit: 1. What background research did the authors do? What were they interested in before doing their research? (The subject the authors are interested in that made them come up with a question that lead to a hypothesis. 2. What question(s) did the authors come up with? How did this question become their hypothesis? What more specific problem or question in their background research led them to develop a hypothesis: the question or theory that can be used to build an experiment) 3. Out of all their questions what did the authors decide to look at? Based on their hypothesis, how did they decide to set up their experiment? (This would be what the authors decided to compare in order to show what they hypothesize, aka want to prove.) 4. What did they test and what did they find? (This is where you look at their data or discussion of the data and see what information they got from it. Did their data support or not support their hypothesis?) 5. Based on what they found, what conclusions did the authors come up with? Did they prove their hypothesis? (After going over their data, what did the authors conclude about their experiment. Did they get the results they expected, did they learn something new, or did they find they need to re-do their entire experiment?) 6. (This question is worth 10 out of the 25 total for the assignment) What questions do you have about what the scientists did in their experiment? What did you learn about this topic? Is this something you feel you’d want to learn more about and why, or why not? How does it relate to anything you have learned in class so far? (This is where you can express your opinion A great response here would take up almost half a page) This is Alice. Here is the assignment. Hi Group Nanoparticles, You have been assigned the paper ‘Nanoparticle SARS-CoV-2 model may speed drug discovery for COVID-19′, found at: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/09/200921170448.htm . Please refer to the syllabus on how to set up the paper and guidelines.
