you will need to develop and test a hypothesis as well as complete and submit a lab write up. You must have graphs and/or tables summarizing the data (don’t submit raw data) and some numerical analysis (mean, standard deviation, confidence interval).
the instructions:
Produce a lab report for the body position activity of the Blood Pressure lab. Your report
should be in nonnumeric, paragraph form. The data you need for the report is found in an
Excel file posted on Canvas. The data includes subjects reported sex and age (decade,
not specific year) as well as collected heart rates and data for sitting (resting) and
recumbent blood pressure.
1. Write an Introduction Section (3 or 4 paragraphs). A brief overview of blood pressure
should be included in this section. Don’t forget to include a citation when you provide
information which is not common knowledge. For example, your text (Silverthorn,
2019), lab manual (Caldwell, Didomenico, Shearer, & Botten, 2019), or another
reasonable source. Make sure to include brief explanations of the physiology underlying
the measurement of blood pressure and how to interpret the blood pressure reading. State
the hypotheses or predictions.
2. Methods. Write 2-3 paragraphs which give an overview of how you did your experiment.
Cite our lab manual (Caldwell, Didomenico, Shearer, & Botten, 2019), and then
concisely summarize how the data was collected.
Write a paragraph describing your test subjects. How are they similar and how are they
different?
Write 1-2 paragraphs which gives a general overview of how you used the methods and
baseline data to study the effects of changes in body position on blood pressure and heart
rate. What is the independent variable of this experiment? The dependent variable?
How are you analyzing the data (mean, standard deviation, confidence interval).
3. Results. Include at least one graph and a summary table or graph. You may need more
than one. Any table or graph should have a descriptive title.
Make sure you submit a summary table, not a restatement of raw data. I smile when I see
calculated measures of central tendency (mean and median) and some measure of spread.
Excel can do most of those calculations for you.
Your graph should show class averages of the blood pressure component in your
hypothesis for each body position. You should include a short narrative highlighting
your data in this section.
4. Summary (4-5 paragraphs) Explain your data by using information you introduced in
your introduction. Make sure to demonstrate you understand the underlying physiology
explaining why blood pressure changes in response to changes in body position. Refer to
your table and graph and point out any important data. If your results did not match your
expected results, write a paragraph suggesting one reason your results might have been
different from the expected results.
You have to do text citation and work cited the sources (you should use lab manual and the textbook)
