#If you have not had your protocol approved by your instructor for your experiment exploring a variable that affects the photosynthetic rate, arrange a time for you and your lab partners to meet with your lab instructor to discuss your plan. Alternatively, your instructor may prefer email communication. You need to plan your experiment early enough to leave time for feedback and modification of the proposal. Because, the prep staff need sufficient time to provide the materials you require, your compliance with the time frame your instructor sets is required. Late submissions will be penalized in the grade you receive for the research report you will write. | #If you have not had your protocol approved by your instructor for your experiment exploring a variable that affects the photosynthetic rate, arrange a time for you and your lab partners to meet with your lab instructor to discuss your plan.

#The scientific research report that you will write on your experiment in Lab 10 will be a complete paper. Because students find converting lab manual protocol descriptions to a Materials and Methods section difficult, your instructors will provide you with an appropriate Materials and Methods section for the spinach thylakoid preparation and the Hill Reaction protocol that you performed today. Compare the wiki directions to this instructor written Materials and Methods version found at <font color="red"> [[?????]]</font color="red">. To begin to learn how to convert protocols to M&M, you should also refer to the Methods section in some of the journal articles that you will use as references to model what should be included or left out in M&M. Remember that concentrations of key reagents should be expressed as final (effective concentration) at crucial points in the experiment. You and your partners should use these models to write your proposed protocol for your LAB10 experiment in M&M form and submit this version as a group homework assignment (submit one M&M per group of 4 students) at the beginning of LAB 10. It will be graded out of 5 points. If you or your group is having trouble with calculating effective concentration or with the format for M&M, go to the BISC Help Room (SC267 S-Th evenings 8-10 pm) or make an appointment with one of the Science Writing Tutors at | #The scientific research report that you will write on your experiment in Lab 10 will be a complete paper.
