Star Gazing Observations Tutorial

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
trying to prove or disprove a hypothesis, all the bases need to be covered. No one wants holes poked in their theories or hypothesis. This is why such papers  tell the reader everything, from method of observation, to how data was collected, and to what the data means to our overall thought or idea.  This particular tutorial will help the student develop a research-oriented paper by providing examples of how such a paper is put together and what information should be  included. In our case, the student has been asked to study the sky throughout a six-week period during early winter. The student has been asked to identify and  predict when and where various stars and planets can be spotted during this time. The student has also been asked to collect data pertinent to this study -- in  this tutorial, we will assume the student already has the data available and is needing assistance in trying to present it. The  introduction of any paper of this type typically involves a thesis or hypothesis. This paper can have a thesis such as "certain phases of the moon are more visible  during the middle of its cycle than during the beginning or end," or "a constellations position within the sky changes not only each night, but throughout the month as well."  This is the hypothesis the student needs to prove or disapprove, and it needs to be clearly stated within the first few lines of the paper. The remainder  of the paper is dedicated to supporting this thesis by outlining the research methods, specifying the data used than analyzing and discussing the data.
