You will submit a formal lab report on your findings from the C. elegans project
Grading:
Report 90%
Peer Review 10%
Report Components (See rubric for more details):
Introduction: Provide background information on the project. Remember to include information on the specific mutation you investigated. Clearly state your scientific question and your hypothesis.

Methods: Clearly describe the procedure (How did you set up each of your crosses? How did you make maintenance plates?).
Results and Figures: Present your findings in writing and with figures. All figure labels must be clear and neat. Each figure must have a title and a legend. You must include 1) Punnett Squares of your F1 and F2 crosses and 2) tables with your F1 and F2 data. You may not have numbers for your F1 and F2 data, but report observations you made regarding your crosses. For example, “the F1 offspring all had the wildtype phenotype.”
Discussion: Discuss the significance of your results. Did your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not? Discuss any sources of error.
References: Properly cite all of your work. Use only appropriate sources. Format in text citations and citation list correctly.

You may cite your textbook. However, Wikipedia and other websites are not acceptable. All other references must be peer-reviewed references (review papers or primary articles). Hint: Wormbase.org and Wormbook.org have links to relevant peer-reviewed literature at the bottom of each page.

Citations
***No quotations! Quotations are hardly ever used in scientific writing. Instead, restate the idea in your own words and cite the original work. Citations should be formatted according to American Chemical Society standards or use APA style (pick one or the other, be consistent throughout the document).
In text example (for ACS style):
Therapies targeting the EGFR receptor have been shown to slow the progression of non-small cell lung carcinoma (1).
Reference list example (ACS style):
1. Murphy M; Stordal, B Erlotinib or gefitinib for the treatment of relapsed platinum pretreated non-small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer: a systematic review. Drug Resist Updat. 2011, 14, 177-90.
