Example of a Research Question: How have changes in the amount of dissolved inorganic carbon (or carbon dioxide) in the seawater affected the growth of phytoplankton as measured in the amount of chlorophyll in the seawater at Palmer Station LTER in Antarctica? Form a hypothesis based on your question. Analyze your appropriate data sets to determine if your hypothesis can be supported or refuted. Compile and analyze your data through annotated figures (tables and/or graphs). Use statistical methods to analyze your data, as appropriate. You will present your research to your classmates on a scientific poster using the poster design outline on the next page.
