Assignment: Scientific Method Assignment
Biological investigations can take on two broad formats: experiments and observational studies. An experiment is a formal method of testing a variable. It has control and experimental groups and data analysis compares the two groups to each other to document any effects. Observational studies involve variables that are challenges to quantify or control. Rather than have a control group, researchers document differences between a number of groups that vary slightly. An example of an observational study is the egg study. Choose ONE of the following labs.
