Abstract
An abstract is generally written after the lab has been completed. In this section, write a one or two-paragraph summary related to the lab activities that were completed. The abstract should include the following elements:
Objective
: the main point or central question of the lab
Methods
: a brief statement on what was done during the lab
Results
: a brief statement on what was found
Discussion
: a brief statement of what was concluded
[Insert abstract here]
Introduction
Provide a brief summary paragraph that includes the following elements:
Background
: Why is this topic (and the results of the lab activities) of interest to environmental scientists?
Purpose
: How are the techniques performed in this lab used to evaluate environmental conditions?
[Insert introduction here]
Materials and Methods
Describe the experimental procedures in enough detail that someone else could repeat the experiment. Include the following elements:
Materials
: Describe the materials and equipment used in the lab
Steps
: Briefly explain the steps taken to perform your lab and collect your data
Calculations

1.
Describe the results of increasing atmospheric CO

in this model.
2.
How will the oceans be impacted by an increase in CO
2
?
3.
Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the model used in these activities.
a.
Was this an effective model for demonstrating sea-level rise and the
different effects of melting sea ice and glacier ice? What improvements would you make to the model?
b.
Was this an effective model for demonstrating ocean acidification due to increased CO
2
? What improvements would you make to the model?
4.
How would the two cities, represented by dimes in our model, be affected differently by sea-level rise?
