Instructions: You will need to write a 1-page lab report using the scientific method to answer the following question:

• If current human development does not change, will groundwater sustainability be affected?
• When your lab report is complete - submit it in the classroom.

Part I: Using the time progression of industrialization and human development, fill in the data table below to help you write up your lab report.

Part II: Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:

1. Purpose
2. State the purpose of the lab. 
3. Introduction
4. This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.
5. Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
6. A hypothesisis an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures. 
7. Methods
8. Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section. 
9. Results/Outcome
10. Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure. 
11. Discussion/Analysis
12. In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results. Also discuss the results and what you learned from this lab.

• Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.
• Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.
• Give your paper a title and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.
