  1. Design your own environmental laboratory experiment based on ANY of the labs we completed during CE 4371. You will be graded based on:
    1. Developing your overarching experimental question/goal,
    2. How you appropriately select your experiments to answer your question, and
    3. Your thought process of what your outcome will likely be and why.

Please be sure to detail your sampling procedures, where your samples will be collected from, how you will analyze your data, and what data will be collected in your theoretical data sheet. You can expand upon our experiments in lab. For example, if you want to measure more than just Fe on the AA machine, you can select copper, arsenic, etc., as long as it is measurable on an AA machine.

is just theoretical. You do not actually have to perform the experiment. Therefor, it phosphorus is very interesting to you, and hypothetically you are interested in how much phosphorus run off the farm produces, you would write down the sample collection procedure and the phosphorus testing procedure
