Mrs. Zrada Contact 12/13

Contact with Mrs. Zrada

Date of contact: December 13, 2017
Contact: Mrs. Zrada
Reference: Raw Data Analysis
Discussion: D. D'Albero and I asked her several questions regarding what this portion of our project entails.
Conclusion: She told us that we should organize our data into bar graphs and line graphs, separating the data by year. She also said that we should correlate the temperature against the amount of crabs seen on that day. She suggested that we preform a t-test, as well, relating the two years data to each other. We are only able to do this with the summer months, as the 2016-2017 data set only has the summer months of June, July, and August.. Continuing, we should preform standard deviation, variance, and average for both years of data. Because there is such a small amount of data points along a long period of time, Mrs. Zrada said that this study would be rather inconclusive, as we would have needed to count fiddler crabs more often.

What I've Done I presented my formal progress update for the third marking period. I also began my discussion yesterday and emailed both my discussion and results portion of my scientific research paper to my mentor, Mrs. Zrada, to be revised. Plans for Today I plan to use Mrs. Zrada's corrections to tweak my results and discussion sections to be more accurate and professional-sounding. After I make the necessary corrections, I will hand in my abstract, results, and discussion, as they are all due today, 10 April. Plans for the Future I will begin working on my marking period four work once I receive the syllabus for the quarter.
