Assignment Task: In this unit, you will complete the lab titled Homeostatic Control: How does the human body keep itself in balance? You will develop a lab report describing the hypothesis, methods, and conclusions from this lab experience.
By completing the lab report, you will demonstrate your ability to do the following:
1. Describe the lab's overall objective and make a hypothesis. What is the overall purpose of the experiments or activities? Make a hypothesis. Recall that the hypothesis is a claim that answers a question or makes a prediction about an event that has not yet occurred. Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation. For your entry make sure to include the following: (i) Include one statement that describes the overall objective in your own words. (ii) Include one statement that describes the hypothesis.
2. Introduce relevant background knowledge on the topic. Hint: The purpose is often stated in the welcome message of the simulation. For your entry make sure to include the following: (i) Include at least three important details from the lab "Theory" tab, the Lab Manual, or other resources, in your lab report that supports the simulation activity.
3. Summarize the steps taken in the lab simulation. Explain all steps you completed, including the equipment and techniques you used. Hint: You can use the "MISSION" tab in the LabPad as inspiration. For your entry make sure to include the following: (i) Document each step you completed, including the equipment and techniques you used.
4. Explain any obtained results. Explain all obtained results. Were these results expected or unexpected? Hint: You can use the "MEDIA" tab in the Lab Pad to revisit relevant images from the simulation? For your entry make sure to include the following: (i) Document the results from the simulation. (ii) Document whether the results were expected or unexpected, and briefly explain why. Need Assignment Help?
5. Discuss the conclusions and implications. How do your results relate back to the original purpose and your hypothesis? Were there any systematic sources of error that could have affected the results? What did you learn? For your entry make sure to include the following: (i) Include a statement that briefly summarizes how the results of the simulation relate back to your original purpose and hypothesis. (ii) Include a statement that details any systematic sources of error you identified that could have affected the results. If the lab did not have any systematic sources of error, include a statement that acknowledges the lack of error present in the lab. (iii) Include a statement about what you learned from the simulation.
