Assignment Details
General Biology Lab I
Assignment Overview
The procedure for the seedling vigor classification test (SVCT) will form the first part of the written methods section for your Lab Report. This section should also include any necessary experimental materials and equipment.
Instructions
To write this section, you will need to refer to your seedling vigor classification test (SVCT) procedure from the Week 2 Lab: Seedling Vigor Classification Test (SVCT). This will be used as the basis of your written results. This means that you must provide a comprehensive description of the steps essential for conducting the experiment. Rather than presenting a mere list of instructions, this section should summarize the steps in paragraph form. The methods should be written in third person (ex. Avoid the use of “I”) and be sufficiently detailed so that another individual could carry out the experiment using these instructions as a guide. You may use the Scientific Writing Resource as a guide too.
Deliverables
Prior to completing your assignment, please review the grading rubric below for specific grading criteria. Then, submit your assignment as a Word or PDF file by Sunday. For this deliverable, you are only writing the methods for the SVCT test. This must be in paragraph APA format. For more information on APA format visit, APA Formatting and Style Guide (7th Edition). It should be 200 words or less. A final draft will be submitted as part of the final project at the end of week 7.
