Abstract
The purpose of this booster module is to provide the information necessary for students to create and conduct their own study. It covers the steps and logic of the scientific process, important terms and concepts (independent and dependent variable, hypothesis, sample size, etc.) and takes them through the components and steps of designing a scientific study.
These files are SCORM packages and can be easily uploaded to your Learning Management System (LMS), such as Blackboard or Desire2Learn. If you want to view or use the files without an LMS, download the files to your computer, extract (unzip) the file, open the extracted folder, and click to open the story.html file. The booster or test will open in your browser window. If used on your LMS, for the booster, the user will be given a score of complete or incomplete; for the pre and post-tests, the user will be given a numerical score. This scoring functionality and completion data is only available if used on an LMS. The SCORM packages are complete and not available for editing. If you would like to include additional information, consider adding the content before or after the booster on your LMS.
