· One short paragraph (3-4 sentences at most) summarizing the experimental goals (hypotheses) and your group results. 

Background: 5 pts

· Summarize the background information presented to you in the first pre-lab lecture about Chlamydomonas. You do not need to include the information about microscopy.

· Identify the question that you are asking:

o Identify the drug that you tested and how that drug works (ie what process does it affect)

o Then identify the research question we are asking in this activity 

Materials and Methods (5 pts) 

· Summarize the experimental procedure that you followed for your group.

o If you did something that was not in the standard procedure, describe it here as well.

o This summary needs to be in paragraph form

o This summary needs to be in YOUR words (do not just copy the methods from the protocol—this is a summary). 

Results (10 pts) 

· Present your data in a table or chart—this should include the time points and the flagellar length (or not) for both the control and treatment.

· Summarize, in paragraph form, the results that you saw.
