Prior to beginning work on this final paper, review the Week 1 Labster Virtual Laboratory: Marine Biology and Week 2 Labster Virtual Laboratory: Eutrophication learning activities, the Week 1 Lab Questions and Week 2 Lab Questions assignments, the Final Laboratory Report outline example, and the detailed feedback on your Week 3 Laboratory Report Pre-Draft assignment. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you review the resources that were provided prior to taking the core concept quiz this week and read or watch the following resources listed:

You are required to write a complete laboratory report that covers the Labster Labs that you completed in Weeks 1 and 2 using knowledge gained throughout the course and additional research. Be sure to download the Final Laboratory Report Template Download Final Laboratory Report Templatelocated in your online classroom and to utilize this document to ensure proper formatting and inclusion of all required material. Additionally, view the Sample Final Laboratory Report Download Sample Final Laboratory Reportlocated in your online classroom before beginning this final paper, which will illustrate what a Final Laboratory Report should look like.
You must use at least two governmental sources, two other highly credible sources, one scholarly source, and the Labster Lab information to support your key points. The report must be six to eight pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA Style. For an Introduction to APA Style, visit the UAGC Writing Center and Library tab, located on the left navigation toolbar, in your online classroom.
Note: This Final Laboratory Report Template differs from the Week 3 Laboratory Report Pre-Draft template. Do not submit the Week 3 template, as it does not meet all of the Final Laboratory Report requirements.
In your Final Laboratory Report final paper, include the following sections:
Abstract
In your abstractLinks to an external site.,
Summarize the methods, results, and key conclusions of each lab.
Describe what was done in each lab, procedures that were followed, and the important results.
Include 150 to 200 words. This should be the last section written (although it should still appear right after the title page).
Introduction
This section should be about one to one-and-a-half pages in length. In the introduction,
Describe background information on the environmental and sustainability topics presented in the labs and an overview of why the labs were conducted.
Identify information from other experiments previously conducted that looks at resource challenges pertaining to each lab.
Support your writing with cited literature from governmental and credible non-governmental sources that conduct scientific studies and experiments.
Identify the hypotheses from the lab simulations and provides the reasoning for those predictions.
The hypothesis should not be adjusted to reflect the “right” answer. You do not lose points for an inaccurate hypothesis. Scientists often revise their hypotheses based on scientific evidence following the experiments.
Materials and Methods
This section provides a summary of all of the materials including scientific equipment used in the two lab activities and the methods used to conduct the experiments. In this section,
Describe the experiment with enough detail so that another scientist reading the report could replicate the experiment.
You can assume that a scientist would know how to use the lab equipment from the experiments and conduct basic lab procedures.
Summarize the methods in your own
Be sure not to simply copy and paste from the lab instructions.
Results
This section should include any data and observations from the experiment. This section should not include personal opinions or discussion, only a description of the results. In this section,
Include all data for the experiments in the labs.
Describe all data, and figures in a written paragraph.
Include any data that reveals a pattern that relates to the
Discussion
This section should interpret your data and arrive at the key findings or conclusions. It should be one to two pages in length. In this section,
Explain your initial hypothesis (for each lab) and whether it is accepted or rejected based on specific results from the experiments conducted in the lab.
Analyze how the results of the experiments and topics of each lab relate to the environmental challenges of resource sustainability.
Discuss the real-world implications and applications of the results from multiple perspectives including environmental, business/economic, political, and
Support this discussion with information from cited sources.
Develop at least one policy or technology solution for the specific situation presented in each lab, taking into account the environmental, business/economic, political, and social impacts.
Evaluate at least two examples of businesses, organizations, cities, states, or countries implementing innovative technology solutions or policies to promote sustainability related to the lab topics.
Conclusion
In this section,
Summarize the purpose, methods, results, and key findings of the Final Laboratory Also summarize implications pertaining to environmental sustainability. This section must be about one page in length.

I included the lab reports from week 1 & 2 as well as a pre-draft for my final paper that gives step by step details over the labs. the pre-draft includes the hypothesis and how I came to the conclusion. Please review all the links and material and edit to make the final lab report. I added a sample of a final report, as well as a blank lab report template to fill out.
