Assignment: Lab Report

Title: Analysis of Energy Sources

Instructions: You will write a 1-page lab report using the scientific method.

When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.

Part I: Using the lab animation, fill in the data table below to gather your data, and use it to help you generate your hypothesis, outcomes, and analysis.

	Energy Source	Fuel (Coal)/Uranium Needed (tons)	CO₂ Emissions (tons)	Sulfur Dioxide and Other Emissions (tons)	Radioactivity mSv (millisievert)	Solid Waste (tons)	Accidents
Quarter 1	Coal	625,000	1.75 Mil	75,000	0.25	150,000	N/A
Quarter 1	Nuclear	18,750/7.5	52,500	0	0.0025	62.5	N/A
Quarter 2	Coal	1.25 Mil	3.5 Mil	150,000	0.5	300,000	Health Impairments
Quarter 2	Nuclear	37,500/15	105,000	0	0.005	125	N/A
Quarter 3	Coal	1.875 Mil	5.25 Mil	225,000	0.75	450,000	Worker Fatalities
Quarter 3	Nuclear	56,250/22.5	157,500	0	0.0075	187.5	Minor Emissions
Quarter 4	Coal	2.5 Mil	7 Mil	300,000	1.0	600,000	Fire Destruction
Quarter 4	Nuclear	75,000/30	210,000	0	0.01	250	Catastrophic releases leading to radiation sickness, death, and environmental contamination

Part II: Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:

• Purpose

o State the purpose of the lab.

• Introduction

o This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.

• Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome

o A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures.

• Methods

o Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section.

• Results/Outcome

o Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure.

• Discussion/Analysis

o In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected.
o Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.

Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.

Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.

When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
