<strong><span style="color: black;">Student Research Plan</span></strong><br /> <br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Name Shannon Cattie Period 2</span></strong><br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Proposed title (subject to change):</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: 0.5in;">Jetties: Help or Hurt?</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Problem to be posed or question asked:</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: 0.5in;">Do the Jetties at the beach actually help keep the sand on the beach, or do they allow it to be sucked out to sea?</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">My hypothesis or hypotheses:</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: 0.5in;">If the beach has a jetty, then it will lose more sand.</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Materials I will supply</span></strong><span style="color: black;">:</span><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: 0.5in;">I will supply a beach (sand, water, wave generator, and tub to hold it in) and the jetty (rocks).</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Materials to be supplied by Mr. Cushing (think of the equipment you will need)</span></strong><span style="color: black;">:</span><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: 0.5in;">I do not think that I will need to use any supplies from you. </span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Materials from other sources (explain)</span></strong><span style="color: black;">:</span><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: 0.5in;">None</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">List all chemicals that will be used along with any special handling, storage or disposal:</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: 0.5in;">There will be no chemicals used in this project.</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Planned procedure</span></strong><span style="color: black;">:</span><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: -0.25in;">1. Create three identical beaches. Each beach will have the same amount of sand that reaches to the same point in the container. Also, each beach will have the same amount of water and a wave generator for each. The wave generator will be on the same power for each. There will be only one difference between the beaches, two will have a jetties and the other will not. </span><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. Over a course of two weeks, watch where the sand goes, or doesn’t go. Each night at the same time and place, take a picture to show the difference of the sand progression. </span><br /> <span style="color: black; text-indent: -0.25in;">3. After two weeks, check the results and see if the jetty actually kept the sand in. </span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">What is your independent variable?</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black;"> My independent variable is the jetty.</span><br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">What is your dependent variable?</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black;">My dependent variable is the erosion.</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">What is your control?</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black;">My control is the beach without the jetty.</span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">What are your Constants?</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black;"> My constants are the amount of sand and water, and the power of the wave generator. </span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Please explain the planned timing of your experiment – how long do you expect it to take and when you will work on it.</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black;"> I believe each experiment should take about two weeks to fully let the sand situate. That would mean that it would take about a month to complete the project, since I should do the experiment three times to make sure the information is correct. I will work on it after school at my house where the beaches will be located. </span><br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">Please cite at least five references you have consulted while conducting preliminary research.</span></strong><br /> <ol><li><span style="color: black; margin-top: 0in;">A little about jetties: <span style="color: purple;"><a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/303301/jetty" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/303301/jetty</a></span></span></li><li><span style="color: black; margin-top: 0in;">More about jetties and how they are made (chapter 2) : <span style="color: blue;"><a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://books.google.com/books?id=5bwMO6SOlT4C&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=how+are+stone+jetties+made&source=bl&ots=4P864r5cWE&sig=p0lP-gjFAuXypp2hcn57DtFSDJ4&hl=en&ei=n5uzTOKtKsWBlAehvIDlDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=how%20are%20stone%20jetties%20made&f=false" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://books.google.com/books?id=5bwMO6SOlT4C&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=how+are+stone+jetties+made&source=bl&ots=4P864r5cWE&sig=p0lP-gjFAuXypp2hcn57DtFSDJ4&hl=en&ei=n5uzTOKtKsWBlAehvIDlDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=how%20are%20stone%20jetties%20made&f=false</a></span></span></li><li><span style="color: black; margin-top: 0in;">Beach erosion: <span style="color: purple;"><a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-causes-beach-erosion" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-causes-beach-erosion</a></span></span></li><li><span style="color: black; margin-top: 0in;">More about beach erosion: <span style="color: purple;"><a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://oceanworld.tamu.edu/resources/oceanography-book/coastalerosion.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://oceanworld.tamu.edu/resources/oceanography-book/coastalerosion.htm</a></span></span></li><li><span style="color: black; margin-top: 0in;">About waves and their effects on beaches: <span style="color: purple;"><a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://oceanworld.tamu.edu/resources/oceanography-book/beachprocesses.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://oceanworld.tamu.edu/resources/oceanography-book/beachprocesses.htm</a></span></span></li></ol>
