These are the questions you will use to help you summarize your paper.
What background research did the authors do? What were they interested in before doing their research? (The subject the authors are interested in that made them come up with a question that lead to a hypothesis.
What question(s) did the authors come up with? How did this question become their hypothesis? What more specific problem or question in their background research led them to develop a hypothesis: the question or theory that can be used to build an experiment)
Out of all their questions what did the authors decide to look at? Based on their hypothesis, how did they decide to set up their experiment? (This would be what the authors decided to compare in order to show what they hypothesize, aka want to prove.)
What did they test and what did they find? (This is where you look at their data or discussion of the data and see what information they got from it. Did their data support or not support their hypothesis?)
Based on what they found, what conclusions did the authors come up with? Did they prove their hypothesis? (After going over their data, what did the authors conclude about their experiment. Did they get the results they expected, did they learn something new, or did they find they need to re-do their entire experiment?)
(This question is worth 10 out of the 25 total for the assignment) What questions do you have about what the scientists did in their experiment? What did you learn about this topic? Is this something you feel you’d want to learn more about and why, or why not? How does it relate to anything you have learned in class so far?
