Student Instructions
For each assignment, you will use the M.U.S.E. link to
complete the Lab.
In this lab, you will be observing the impact of
mineral nitrogen fertilizer usage on maizes crop yield, which is measured
in milligrams of dry mass harvested per 100 acres (1 hectare) during a 1-year
period. Use the animation to help you come up with an answer to the following:
Complete a lab report using the scientific method.

Using the M.U.S.E. link, review the background information
and animation to complete your report. Use the .aiu-online.com/LCMSFileShareCommon/aae/e5d/845/dbe/493/c8f/d7f/119/b05/d63/84/SCIE207_Lab1_worksheet.doc”>Lab 1 worksheet for assignment instructions and data
collection.
Both arable and nonarable land have been chosen as the
experimental cultivation sites near the city of Melle, Germany, where the yield
of maize was observed from 1990 through 1998. The climate variations have also
been carefully recorded on equally sized lots of both types of land.

Phase 1 Lab Report
Title: Using
Scientific Method
Instructions:You
will need to write a 1-page lab report using the scientific method to answer
the following questions:
Define a hypothesis that is suggested by
the data collected in the lab.
Complete a lab report using the scientific
method.
When your lab
report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
Part 1:Using
the lab animation, fill in the following data tables to help you generate your
hypothesis, outcomes, and analysis:
