@Yolo4mecuite @horsegirl27 @Khet @ElonaSushchik

Answer 3

Dude thats a lot of reading...

Answer 4

i know

Answer 5

Do you think you can help me

Answer 6

I really appreciate it

Answer 7

I can try.

Answer 8

Sorry toxicsugar, but I am going to bed. I'm getting a headache just looking at that :P

Answer 9

ill try to help

Answer 10

Sorry computer froze up... Uhhh... I have my own paper to write...But if no one else can help you message me and I will try my best

Answer 11

god so much reading

Answer 12

@Data_LG2

Answer 13

have you read it ?

Answer 14

yes i have

Answer 15

before we determine the hypothesis, first we have to determine the goal/aim/purpose of this research... i'm still trying to read it, but I think it will be faster if you provide me some info so that we can start

Answer 16

okay that's great.. so maybe you can tell me the purpose of the research? what are they trying to solve here?

Answer 17

the artlice is about pollution

Answer 18

and about Plastic debris in the ocean

Answer 19

Isn't the goal of this article

To Synthetize data collected across the world to provide a global map and a first-order approximation of the magnitude of the plastic pollution in surface waters of the open ocean.

Answer 20

I got the info in the first paragraph

Answer 21

okay, good that's a good start. that's perfect!

now we have to determine the hypothesis or their prediction. what do you think their thoughts before they did the experiment? what are their expectations about the results that they are going to achieve?

Answer 22

i'm still reading it, so i may take a while.. if you know the answers to my questions you can just post it and i'll check it later

Answer 23

To measure how much there plastic pollution there is in the ocean. Right that would be a hypothesis. We just paraprase the goal right?

Answer 24

well, that's the aim/goal. hypothesis and goal are different. the hypothesis is like a prediction... are they expecting too much plastic? read paragraph 3 you'll find the hypothesis there

Answer 25

Is the hypothesis

The light weight and durability of plastic materials make them suitable for a very wide range of products. However, the intense consumption and rapid disposal of plastic products is leading to a visible accumulation of plastic debris

Answer 26

its in pargraph 3

Answer 27

I also found this

Indeed, high concentrations of floating plastic debris have been reported in central areas of North Atlantic and Pacific the Oceans, but oceanic circulation models suggest possible accumulation regions in all five subtropical ocean gyres

. I dont know if this is one also

Answer 28

kind of not really, the 2nd post is the result but it also mentioned the predicted outcome (hypothesis)...i'll give an example of hypothesis... "Since today is very cloudy, there's a chance that it will rain tonight" in this sentence i'm predicting that the rain will come.

in the 3rd paragraph, the models that are listed (1 , 2, 3) were used to predict that (read the last sentence-the hypothesis-hint: "PREDICT" )

Answer 29

The models predict that these large-scale vortices act as conveyor belts, collecting the floating plastic debris released from the continents and accumulating it into central convergence zones.

Answer 30

right

Answer 31

yes (: that would be it... just rephrase it based from what you understand

Answer 32

but can i put the other two or no

Answer 33

how can i reprase it, cause its tough

Answer 34

we'll leave the 2nd one for the conclusion/implication

but for the first one, maybe we can use it for the foundation of the project

Answer 35

can you help me rephrase it

Answer 36

oh ok so we found the concusion/implication and the foundation for the project

Answer 37

i just scan through the reading so i'm honestly don't understand this research project. I'm just analyzing what you are telling and me and checking it


we're not sure yet about the foundation of the project, i have to double check it
give me a moment

Answer 38

let me just do some recap:

Goal: To provide a first-order approximation of the load of plastic debris in surface waters of the open ocean. To provide insight into the nature of possible losses of floating plastic from the open ocean surface.

Hypothesis: Large-scale vortices act as conveyor belts, collecting the floating plastic debris released from the continents and accumulating it into central convergence zones.

Fundamentals of the experiment: I think this would be either the 3 models used OR the reasons why the are doing the experiment

Answer 39

yeah i think they are the 3 models stated in paragraph 3 because they are also reasons why they are doing the experiments (:

Answer 40

let's just point out which is which first, before you rephrase them cause i'm getting sleepy now ^_^

Answer 41

sounds okay?

Answer 42

Now we found the primary goal and the hypothesis

Foundation for the project:

Methods:

Quality of methods:

Conclusions and implications:

Answer 43

foundations for the project will be the fundamentals of the experiment

now we'll do the methods

Answer 44

So is the foudation for the project the three models stated in paragraph 3

Answer 45

so would they be the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the oceanic circulation model

Answer 46

just so i get the foundation of the project

Answer 47

Intense consumption and rapid disposal of plastic products leading to a visible accumulation of plastic debris

and

Plastic pollution reaches the most remote areas of the planet, including the surface waters of the open ocean.

Answer 48

not 100% sure though

Answer 49

that is the foundation of the project

Answer 50

yeah?

Answer 51

wait, when is the due date for this?

Answer 52

TOMMOROW W

Answer 53

okay i'll stay a bit longer @_@

Answer 54

now let's move on to the methods

Answer 55

SO THE foundation for the project
is not the three models that are in paragraph 3

likeNorth Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the oceanic circulation model

Answer 56

is it

Answer 57

this what I think:

Intense consumption and rapid disposal of plastic products leading to a visible accumulation of plastic debris

and

Plastic pollution reaches the most remote areas of the planet, including the surface waters of the open ocean.

Answer 58

ok now we have the

Ok now we have the

Methods:

Quality of methods:

Conclusions and implications:

Answer 59

yes, yes, yes...

methods, which part do you think is the method?

Answer 60

A method is a procedure right

Answer 61

yes right (:

Answer 62

open the article site and go scroll all the way down to where it says

Material and Methods

Im not sure if the answer is in there

Answer 63

http://www.pnas.org/content/111/28/10239.full

Answer 64

yes i have the copy with me.. can you tell me the specific paragraph?

Answer 65

scroll down to wear the tillte says
Material and Methods

Answer 66

i think the answer is in there

Answer 67

DId you figure out your answer
