Lab 1: “Designing an Experiment” Review of the scientific method Design of an effective experiment Implementation of statistics in Excel Topics/Terms: - Independent and Dependent Variables - Experimental and Control groups - Randomization - Sample size - Bias - T-test and ANOVA - Pearson's R - Power Analysis Mini-problem: This semester, you and your team are assisting a graduate student, Kristen, in a research lab. You are studying the effects of inflammation, but the lab is short on cash. You must determine the lowest possible dose of an inflammation inducing agent (lipopolysaccharide) to increase a newly discovered inflammatory protein (Inflammotin) in the elderly. The protein is measured in blood samples using ELISA. Prior work as shown that 10mg pill of lipopolysaccharide can increase protein levels so this is a good starting point. Assignment: 1. What are your independent and dependent variables? 2. Describe your experimental design. a. How many groups? b. How many subjects/group? 3. How will you select your subjects? 4. What are some of the potential sources of error or biases that could affect your results and how would you control for them? HW: Lab Report 1 (due ##/##/## at 11:59PM through OpenWetWare) Grading Scheme: 10 points – Identification of independent and dependent variables 20 points – Experimental Design 10 points – Subject Selection 10 points – Sources of Error and Controls 50 points – Peer Assessment Look for your Group's lab report link in the list of links on the right. If it is RED instead of blue, DO NOT CLICK ON IT! If the link is red, type the name of your Group's lab report link exactly as shown in the following text field and click the Create Page button. This should open up an Edit page that is pre-populated with a lab report template code. <createbox> preload=Template:ASUBME103_f2015_L1 prefix=BME100_f2015: width=25 buttonlabel=Create Page </createbox> Group1_8amL1 Group2_8amL1 Group3_8amL1 Group4_8amL1 Group5_8amL1 Group6_8amL1 Group7_8amL1 Group8_8amL1 Group9_8amL1 Group10_8amL1 Group11_8amL1 Group12_8amL1 || Group13_8amL1 || Group14_8amL1 || Group15_8amL1 Group16_8amL1 Group17_8amL1 Group1_1030amL1 Group2_1030amL1 Group3_1030amL1 || Group4_1030amL1 || Group5_1030amL1 Group6_1030amL1 Group7_1030amL1 Group8_1030amL1 Group9_1030amL1 || Group10_1030amL1 Group11_1030amL1 Group12_1030amL1 Group13_1030amL1 Group14_1030amL1 || Group15_1030amL1 Group16_1030amL1 Group17_1030amL1 GroupTA_L1
