Let’s continue our work with our original hypothesis and discovering ways to test this.  Last week you came up with an experimental approach to test your hypothesis. This week, create a research approach that is non-experimental or correlational.  Make sure to watch this week’s lectures before beginning.

This week present your work similar to a research report you might see in a journal. Be as specific as possible to illustrate your understanding of a non-experimental or correlational research design.

Include the following sections with Headers and Subheaders:
