How to write an Introduction
An introduction contains: 1. Background information on the topic investigated. 2. The proposed hypothesis. and 3. A short description of the methods testing the hypothesis. 4. Citations are included in the introduction and must be in APA format (within the body of the text include the author(s) last name and year of the citation...do not use page numbers or quotations from sources). Please do not use formats common to other disciplines. Do not use quotations within the body of the report text (Quotations are not used in scientific reports. You should state the information in your own words and include the citation that contained the information at the end of the sentence). You are not required to write a report introduction. Instead answer the following questions to illustrate the components of an introduction.
For the each section answer the following questions assume the hypothesis for the Stomata experiment is: The distribution of stomata is related to the location of the leaf on the plant (inside versus outside).
6. What information would a reader need to know about Stomata to understand the independent variable and how it is related to the hypothesis? (list at least 3 facts that would be required to understand why the independent variable for the experiment is stomata distribution).
7. Give one supporting fact to justify that the distribution of stomata is affected by the location of leaves on plants (to receive credit you must provide a scientific citation from a peer review source to support the fact).
