Discussion/Conclusion Section and Poster Template

Please upload your peer-reviewed Discussion/Conclusion section in Canvas.  Make sure you follow the rubric and directions here.

Check out this helpful paperLinks to an external site. on how to write an effective Discussion/Conclusion Section. This section is where you interpret your data. What does the data show us? Does it support your hypothesis? How do you know it supports/doesn’t support your hypothesis? You also need to include possible errors in your study. What outside factors (confounding variables) could have affected your data? You should have at least 3 confounding variables with detailed explanations of how each came into play. What limitations, if eliminated, would have given you better results.  Find things you did not account for in your methods that future scientists interested in your research should take into consideration.

You must refer to the studies that you cited in your introduction and talk about if you saw similar or different results as these.  You must cite these sources!
