Student Name : Insert Your Name Here TA Name : Insert Your TA’s Name Here Now that you have completed the investigation, it is time to synthesize (bring together) all the data and observations you have made to create an essential understanding to the guiding question posed at the beginning of the investigation: What food types posed the greatest risk for consumers in the year following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan? The lab write-up is a summative assessment to evaluate how well you have developed the scientific skills and concepts outlined throughout the investigation. The following questions are built to help you create a scientific argument. Think of this as an outline to creating a scientific argument paper. Answer each of the following questions with a thoughtful and thorough paragraph in your own words. 1. Claim : Create a 2-3 sentence answer to the guiding question above. The short paragraph should directly answer the guiding question and utilize concepts and vocabulary based on what you have learned from the introductions, the data/observations, and your lab discussion. HINT : Do not simply restate the guiding question! Insert Answer Here 2. Evidence Descriptions : In 3 or more sentences, directly describe the trends that you observed in the Produce, Meat/Eggs, Milk/Dairy, and Seafood data that were collected. What were the highest percentages of foods over the allowable radiocesium limits in each category? What were the lowest? How many peaks occurred for each food type? o Approximately when did these peaks occur? Insert Answer Here 3. Interpretation & Justification : In 4 or more sentences, explicitly discuss how the data/observations from Question #2 directly supports the claim you created in Question #1. HINT : Describe which food types posed the greatest risk to consumers. Explain how the data you described in the previous section supports your answer. What food types were the most at-risk? What food types were the least at-risk? If you look at your graph, you will notice that meat/eggs (animals like chicken, cattle, and boar) show a delayed peak compared to produce (items like fruit, vegetables, and mushrooms) o What do you think may have created this correlation? Insert Answer Here 4. Real-World Issues : Reflect on the importance of understanding how to construct scientific investigations, arguments, and how to read and analyze scientific data. Discuss in 2-3 sentences how these concepts ( NOT radiocesium ) are currently affecting your local community or another community around the globe. If you reference and took inspiration from any articles or videos, please provide links for reference! Insert Answer Here 5. Lab Notes : Insert a photograph of pages ( 1-11 , 1-12 , and 1-13 ) from your lab manual. For each photo, make sure: Each photo fills a single page in this document (**resize to make sure you have 1 photo fill an entire page**) All written information in the photo is visible and legible (**can your TA read your lab notes?**) Creating a Scientific Argument EaES 111 1
