The Methods project showed the importance of controlling factors, replicability in scientific works, and the importance of clear and accurate documentation of procedures. The methods project was about creating a figure and describing how it was created through writing. The original figure was then replicated by another student based on the exposition text of the methods. Through the project, the following findings resulted: differences in materials used, differences in location of objects, differences in colors, differences in camera position, differences in camera settings, differences in the range of the map and photographs, differences in weather and differences in the superimposed elements. The results showed that in order to allow for your work to be replicated accurately your methods have to be very specific and the factors to be controlled need to be followed strictly.
