DIRECTIONS DATA COLLECTION
-Conduct the experiment designed in the previous project.
Take detailed notes during each step of the experimental procedure. Record your observations, concerns, mistakes, or problems. Be sure to write down anything unexpected. This will help during the data analysis step. It is a good idea to record all your data in a notebook. It may also help to create a data table for any measurements. Be sure your measurements are careful and accurate.

DATA ANALYSIS
-CAREFULLY REVIEW YOUR DATA.
Use charts, graphs, and pictures to summarize your results. Make any mathematical calculations, if necessary, and create a statistical analysis. What were the average results? What was the highest/lowest result? Include median, mode, and range analysis if appropriate.

-DEVELOP A CONCLUSION BASED ON YOUR DATA ANALYSIS.
Remember, a conclusion describes the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable. Summarize your experimental results in a few sentences. Use the summary to support your conclusion. Be sure to state whether your results prove or disprove your hypothesis. Do not worry if your hypothesis is proven false. Sometimes scientists learn more from wrong answers than from right ones.

COMMUNICATION
-COMMUNICATE YOUR RESULTS TO ANOTHER PERSON.
Present your experiment to a friend, family member, or classmate.

explanation:

hi there,

on december 11, 2001, china officially became the 143rd member of the

world trade organization (wto) in the culmination of a negotiation

process which began in 1986. economists have long been debating the

global effects of china's accession to the wto, and as china becomes

fully integrated into the organization over the next several years,

the accuracy of their predictions will be tested.

one of the biggest residual effects of china's entry to the wto,

according to economists, will be the relocation of manufacturing and

distribution centers to china. due to its cheap labor, cheap

industrial land, and educated workforce, china is an ideal production

centre for businesses based in outside countries. this will likely

result in a twofold impact – more jobs will be available in china,

while countries like india, which have historically offered cheap

labor, will suffer. taiwan and malaysia's technology industries are

already suffering as companies like dell computers move production to

china, and while foreign investment soars in china, other asian

countries suffer. in addition, mexico and the caribbean will lose

thousands of garment manufacturing jobs as the u.s. lifts restraints

on chinese textile imports.

while the impact on southeast asia may be negative, the western world

may benefit. while some suggest china's open borders will result in

increased competition and a decreased employment rate for the western

world, western countries will benefit from access to china's highly

developed electronics and industry sectors. with duties and quotas

slashed, and restrictions lifted, multinationals will benefit by

setting up distribution centers without the need for chinese

middlemen. in addition, it's expected that china will import massive

amounts of food products, machinery and vehicles from the u.s., japan,

hong kong, taiwan, singapore and south korea, thus providing

significant boosts to these countries' economies.

in conclusion, it seems that while western countries may benefit from

china's accession to the wto, there's the potential that asian and

south american countries may feel the pinch of free trade as china

moves to a global economy.
