Method
How will your central question be addressed by the experiment?
![Page 11: Based on and modified from the notes “How to give a presentation focused on an experiment”, by Jeff Elhai, 2012.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e1a5503460f94b06ff4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Method
How will your central question be addressed by the experiment? Present logic of experiment and
underlying principles

Method
How will your central question be addressed by the experiment? Present logic of experiment and
underlying principles Explain how what you’re doing relates to
the question you’re asking

Method
How will your central question be addressed by the experiment? Present logic of experiment and
underlying principles Explain how what you’re doing relates to
the question you’re asking Only enough detail for conceptual
understanding▪ Method descriptions do not need to be
reproducible

*IMPORTANT*
Be careful when describing how results relate to a hypothesis
![Page 20: Based on and modified from the notes “How to give a presentation focused on an experiment”, by Jeff Elhai, 2012.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e1a5503460f94b06ff4/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
*IMPORTANT*
Be careful when describing how results relate to a hypothesis
Experimental results = observations show, indicate, suggest,
demonstrate, or support hypothesis Always true

Graphics:
Use them Steal useful images, adapt to make
them relevant to your specific needs Obviously: Cite all images used▪ “Figure #A adapted from Bob, et al, 2009.”
If you use pre-existing images, almost always need to make them simpler.
