  1. Research Design

  2. Replication • Repetition of the basic experiment • See if units respond the same way to the same treatment • Significance of the results can be tested • Number of replicates depends on • Degree of precision required • Degree of homogeneity of the sample • Number of treatments in the study

  3. Randomization Negative control • Chance assignment of experimental units to the treatment or vice-versa • Assures valid and unbiased estimates of means and differences between treatments • Test for significance is valid 1% 5% 10% Positive control

  4. Local control • Balancing grouping and blocking of experimental units in the experimental design • Blocking – assignment of units to a block to ensure that the block is homogeneous

  7. Group Exercise • Identify dependent, independent, and extraneous variables. • Enumerate the treatments given. • How many replicates were used? • How many samples were used in the project? How were these chosen from the population? • Which type of research design (CRD or RCBD) was chosen or was most appropriate for the project. Why? Bonus: What was the test of significance used?

  8. Group Exercise Groups 1 and 2 – Comparative analysis of the effects of VCO and olive oil on the cholesterol levels in rabbits Groups 3 and 4 – Utilization of blood of stray dogs as a component of blood agar plates Groups 5 and 6 – Formulation of an all-organic nutrient solution for lettuce Groups 7 and 8 – Mango seed kernels as an alternative source of starch in flour Groups 9 and 10 – Lecithin organogels as a topical aid of green tea extracts for the treatment of inflammatory skin disease
