Plant Research Project
Plant:Hops
• Part 1: Uses, treatments and cures. What are the standard applications? Include pictures of your chosen plant.
• Part 2: Folklore and Superstition - there must be some very interesting tales about this plant!
• Part 3: Medical evidence for efficacy: scientific studies and clinical trials
• Part 4: Identify all faulty arguments you find in the literature while researching your chosen plant (at least 4). Include citations. The style is exactly like you did for the Faulty Arguments worksheet except you are not making the arguments up, but rather citing what you find..
• Part 5: Draw a conclusion: Would you recommend this herb to someone? Why or why not? You are required to use a balanced set of references for your research. Make sure you use at least one "unsubstantiated" source (full of faulty arguments) and one that is more reputable (peer reviewed, medical journal, research journal).
