Page 1 of 3 EXPERIMENTA L PROJECT PLAN Chemistry 445 - Analytical Scientists undertake many cognitive tasks (brain processes) when planning and carrying out their research. This form is meant to help you plan your project by prompting you to consider the cognitive tasks (CT) that will be involved in your project. Tasks marked with a * are expected to be the ones that need the most consideration. Tasks are from Wieman’s 2015 paper (posted on Canvas). You must submit this (through Canvas) prior to beginning in-lab work; it has a grade value of 10% of the project. CT1 – Establishing the research goal In the space below, describe the goal of the work you’ll do. What are you trying to achieve? CT2 – Defining criteria for suitable evidence* What data will you need to collect to give a convincing answer to your research question? What type of data and how much of it? What variables are important? Which ones will you measure and which will you control?
Page 2 of 3 CT3 – Determining feasibility of the experiment Are the equipment and chemicals you’ll need readily available? If you’re unsure, consult with Xiaolin or Richard about what we have in the lab. Does your research goal above align with the time available for this project? CT4 – Experimental design* What solutions will you need to measure? What kind of quantitation method will you use? How will you validate (prove good) your chosen method? Focus on non-instrumental aspects of experimental design. You’ll have time in lab to explore instrument parameters (e.g. flow rate, etc.) CT5 – Construction/testing of apparatus You’re expected to make use of existing equipment in the lab, so don’t focus on construction. However, you must consider how you’ll prove to yourself that your experiment gives good data. What testing will you do?
