1) What are some other factors that might impact coral health that the researchers should consider?2) Write a research question about coral bleaching that can be answered using experimental design. You may consider the causes of bleaching, ways to prevent bleaching, or ways to reverse bleaching. 3) Design an experiment to answer your research question.

Part A: Identify the factors in your experiment.

Factor of interest:

Response factor:

Part B: Describe the set-up and procedure for your experiment. How will you change your factor of interest to create your experimental group? How will it be different in the control group? What other factors will need to be the same in both the experimental and control groups? How will you measure your response variable at the end of the experiment?

Part C: What measures will you take to ensure your results show the effects of your treatment and not other hidden causes?

4) Prepare a summary of your proposed experiment to share with your classmates. Be sure to justify your choices regarding experimental design. Your instructor may request a certain format.
