Youre going to do a scientific investigation on nutrition science. In your investigation, I will be looking for your observations, your hypothesis, the experimental design and data, and finally your conclusion. It must be involved with the chemistry of one of the key ingredients in your recipe. Additionally, you should include the background information, theory behind it. This part below it doesn’t have to exactly cater to the paper because I’m not sure if it would all fit in the 7-page limit I set but I think the important is the experiment. Long as it has the categories at the top. 1. Title: Choose a title that briefly conveys to the reader the purpose of the paper. 2. Abstract: The abstract should give a brief summary of your research project, and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper’s purpose. It should include the results and conclusions of your research paper and the recommendations from you. It should be at least 200 words. 3. Introduction The introduction provides the reader with the context needed to understand your work and its significance. The introduction explains the why of your paper, and provides background information on the history of scientific investigation that led to our present understanding of the phenomenon being studied. Introductions define key terms and specify the problem and the general investigative approach. Be sure to properly cite any historical background referred to in the introduction. 4. Materials and Methods This section should describe what you did to get your data, but should not present the data itself. The description of your work needs to be specific that someone else can duplicate it with the expectation of getting the same result, assuming that the person was knowledgeable of the techniques involved. Carefully outline the procedure and the techniques you used. Describe any deviations from standard procedures so that others can appraise the new procedures or attempt to reproduce the new procedures themselves. 5. Results This section refers back to the question asked by the study and to the hypothesis. State what you found out and whether or not that data supported the hypothesis. Then present the summarized data to support this conclusion. It is crucial that you clearly organize and present the outcomes of your experiments. This is best accomplished by presenting data in clearly labeled graphs and charts, consistently labeled and cited in the text. Graphs and tables should be clear without reference to the text. Number graphs and tables in the order in which they are mentioned in the text (i.e. Table 1, Table 2 and so on). 6. Discussion The significance and interpretation of the study should be explained in this section. Discuss specific points made in the Results section in light of previous studies or hypotheses. Some of the questions to be answered in this section are: ? Why do you think the data did (or didnt) support the hypothesis? ? What previously unsuspected data phenomenon does this suggest? ? How might your experimental procedures be improved? ? Are some of your results due to artifacts? How do you know? ? What variables might you have overlooked? ? What other studies should be done on the basis of your results? ? How does this work affect the field you are working in? Here is where you analyze your results and draw conclusions. You may also add opinions here (and only here), but keep your opinions brief. 7. Future Research: This section allows you to comment on your experiment. How could you improve your experiment? What were some sources of error? How could you modify your experiment or test another related hypothesis? What does the future hold for your work?
