Your Name

SCI 207: Our Dependence Upon the Environment

Instructor’s Name

Date

*This template will enable you to produce a polished Lab Report. Simply complete each section below, pasting in all your completed data tables, graphs, and photographs where indicated. Before you submit your Lab Report, it is recommended that you run it through Turnitin, using the student folder, to ensure protection from accidental plagiarism. Please delete this purple text, and all the instructions below, before submitting your final report.

Title of Lab Goes Here

Introduction

Background paragraph: Provide background on the lab topic, explaining the key concepts covered in the lab and defining (in your own words) important terms relating to the lab. Explain why the lab topic is important to scientists. Using APA format, cite at least two outside credible sources (sources other than textbook or lab manual) in your statement. Your background paragraph should be 5-7 original, substantive sentences long.

Objectives paragraph: In 4-5 sentences, explain the purpose of this lab. What is it intended to examine or test?

Hypotheses paragraph: State your hypotheses for this lab. Be sure to cover all the lab activities, one at a time. For each hypothesis, explain why you originally thought that would happen.

Note: Do not mention the actual results of the lab here – they go later in the report.

For additional help in writing your Introduction section, refer to the Ashford Writing Center Resource, Introductions and Conclusions.

Materials and Methods

Using your own words, describe what you did in each of the lab activities. Answers should enable a lab report reader to repeat the lab just as you did it – a process known as replication. Clearly explain any measurements you made (including the measurement units).

Results

Data Tables: Copy and paste each of your completed data tables here, in order (Weeks One, Two, Four, and Five Labs only).

Observations: Provide your observations for each lab activity here, in order (Week Three Lab only)

Graphs: Paste your graphs here (Week Four Lab only). Include a numbered figure caption below each one, in APA format.

Photographs: Paste your photographs here, in the order they were taken in the lab. Include numbered figure captions below each one, in APA format.

For additional help with the data tables and images, refer to the Ashford Writing Center resource, Tables, Images, and Appendices.

Discussion

Accept or reject hypotheses paragraph: Based upon the results of each lab activity, explain whether you accepted or rejected each of your hypotheses, and why.

Follow these steps:

· Restate your original hypothesis for the lab activity.

· Communicate the results of the lab. Then,

· Compare your hypothesis to the results of the lab and decide whether to accept your hypothesis or reject it.

· State if your hypothesis is supported or not, and explain with evidence.

· Move on to the next lab activity and repeat the process.

What I have learned paragraph: What important new things have you learned from this lab? Use at least one credible outside source (not the lab manual or textbook) to answer this question. Cite the source using APA format. Answers should be 5-7 original, substantive sentences in length.

Sources of error paragraph: What challenges did you encounter when completing this lab? (Identify at least one.) How might those challenges that you experienced have affected the accuracy of the results that you obtained?

Future research paragraph: Based upon what you learned in this lab, what new questions do you have about the topic of this lab? In a few sentences, how might you design a new lab activity to answer those questions?

References

List the references that you cited in your report, in APA format and alphabetically by author’s last name. If you did not actually cite the source somewhere in your paper, do not include it.

August Polar Sea Ice Area Loss Instructions

Objective: Determine a linear regression between year and August polar sea ice area using Excel. After accessing the August Polar Sea Ice Area Loss Spreadsheet course file, you will perform your calculations and specify what year there will be no sea ice area in August.

 

Step Number	Instructions
1	Access the August Polar Sea Ice Area Loss Spreadsheet. This spreadsheet specifies the year and total polar sea ice area in August.
2	· On your spreadsheet, highlight all the data in the Year and the Total Sea Ice Area columns. · Click INSERT > CHARTS > Scatter.
3	· Click on the data in your chart to select data. · Right click and select “Add Trendline.”
4	Click on the trendline. You will see a box called “Format Trendline.”
5	Scroll down the Format Trendline box until you see “Forecast.”
6	Under “Forward,” add enough years to the trendline until the line reaches zero ice area. This is the year there will be no polar sea ice in August.
7	· Answer the questions below. · Submit your August Polar Sea Ice Area Loss Spreadsheet and the August Polar Sea Ice Area Loss Instructions to the assignment area.

 

 

Questions

1. According to your forecast, in which year will there be no polar sea ice in August?

 

2. Does the reduction in polar sea ice area constitute evidence that global warming is real? Why or why not?

3. How will the reduction in polar sea ice area affect the sea level and the safety of coastal communities?

 

· In your response, specify at least one coastal area that would potentially be affected by the loss of polar sea ice area.

· Be sure to cite the source of your information. Good places to start your research include: the Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library, Google Scholar; or governmental websites, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

· Remember to cite your source according to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) [PDF].

Introduce yourself to your classmates with your name, location (Memphis Tennessee current employment Laboratory Corporation of American (Labcorp), and future goals. In the event of a natural disaster such as Hurricane Matthew in 2016 or Hurricane Katrina in 2005( my home state is Louisiana I was affected by Katrina) identify and explain which two specialized fields of toxicology would be most involved in assessing the health risks and environmental issues involved in the aftermath of the storms. What do you think their main role would be?

ALSO REPLY TO ANOTHER STUDENTS COMMENT BELOW

Adam:

Hello, my name is Adam, I currently live in a small town called Visalia California where I am originally from but, lived in San Jose for 7 years. I currently work at UPS where I transitioned my poisition to health and safety supervisor however, recently I am also learning about processing hazardous material and recovery as well. My future goals is to gain experience in the feild of health, safety, and hazardous material and advance my career to the best of my ability. I also strive to be the best health and safety professional I can be keeping employees, the environment, and infrastructure as safe as possible.

In the case of a natural disaster such as a hurricane, there are many components of toxicology that would need to be considered to assist in the recovery process. This would include what and who were exposured to toxic substances and in what quantity? What are the impacts that this toxic material can have on factors like human health, air, water, soil, and infrastructure? What are the adverse effects of this toxic substance? Can the damage done be mitigated or reversed? These are some of the questions that would be asked in most cases related to exposure to a toxic material.

A descriptive toxicologist would be involved in assessing these factors in relation to human health. This would be the people who focus mostly on toxicity testing of chemicals and identifying the hazards associated with the harmful effects on human organs. This would also include understanding of how toxic material in absorbed through the human body and figuring how to remove it. The other toxicologist would be a applied toxicologist who study how chemicals interact with real world situations. They would help determine exposure limits associated with the level of toxic material present in non-laboratory environments. This would also include understanding the pathways of how a toxic material can be absorbed into the human body or environment. I believe these two studies would be the best in understanding toxicology impacts in the case of a hurricane.
