Biodiversity

Read “Lab 3: Biodiversity” This lab will allow you to investigate how pollution can adversely affect the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Last week you should already have completed steps 1 to 32 of Experiment 1, including answering Post Lab Questions 1 through 5 on the Week Three Lab reporting form. Make sure to complete all of the remaining items before submission:

1. Review the introductory material.
2. Complete Experiment 1: Effects of Water Pollution on Plant Diversity using your eScience lab manual and kit.
3. Complete Table 2 and answer Post Lab Questions 6 through 10 in complete sentences on the Week Three Lab Reporting Form. 

Submit the entire completed Lab Three Reporting Form via Waypoint. The document does not need to include a title page or other APA formatting; however, any outside sources utilized in your answers must be referenced in proper APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.  The photograph you took in step 34 of Experiment 1 should either be pasted onto your Lab Three Reporting Form, or uploaded to Waypoint as a separate file.
