Homework: Assignment 9—Dive Response (10 pts)

Work independently. Write a report summarizing your experiments on the dive

response. You should include the baseline data from your group, your assigned dive
parameter data, and class data for the other class parameters tested. Follow the lab
report guidelines posted on Canvas.
Cite your sources in the body of the text by including the first author’s last name, then the year
in parentheses. Eg. (Reese, 2011). The complete citation for each source should appear in
alphabetical order in the Literature Cited section. For example:
Reese et al. 2011. Biology 9th ed., Pearson/Benjamin Cummings Publishing Co., pg. 146.
