**Extra tips:
* It is inappropriate in scientific writing to make irrelevant statements of opinion. For example, “I thought the forest was really pretty.” Or, “I wish we didn’t have to collect data in the cold and pouring rain.”
* You need to cite sources of information you are referencing in your introduction and discussion. Please also include a bibliography.
*It is very important that each student write his or her own report independently. Although all students will have access to the same data, each student will present and interpret the data in their own way.
