Research Question
Question is not too simple
Add a unique twist
Instead of just a correlation between X and Y look at the distinction between this correlation in developing and developed countries
Other distinctions include different age groups, or between men and women.
Introduction
introduce why I ended up choosing to explore myparticular research question.
sneak in a bit about the connect between the research question and your interests/personal life
Introduce how answering my research question has important applications in the real world
I would make this section separate from background
Background information
Mention all the biology related knowledge that is information to the paper
Don't just mention the origin of something mention its impact
Example: don't just mention the pathogenesis of something mention the significance of that thing as an indicator for something else
Hypothesis
ideally be accompanied by a scientific explanation to support your hypothesis
Use the study to justify your reasoning
Approach
Explain how I developed my methodology
how I will control confounding variables in my investigation
how I minimized the effects of errors and variability in my data
how I standardized my variables
A confounding variable is a variable that influences both the dependent and independent variable
