    • What would happen if a species within a population were suddenly split into 2 groups by an earthquake that creates a physical barrier like a canyon?
When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
Part I: Use the animated time progression of speciation to help you write up your lab report.
Part II: Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:

    • Purpose
      • State the purpose of the lab.
    • Introduction
      • This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.
    • Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
      • A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures.
    • Methods
      • Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section.
    • Results/Outcome
      • Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure.
    • Discussion/Analysis
      • In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected.
      • Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.
Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.
Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.
When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.
