Introduction First Paragraph

In order for any scientific work to become valid it must be replicated by other scientists who must be able to redeem the same results as the original experiment. The Methods Project that I was assigned in my junior writing class in Fall of 2019 is a way for students to practice descriptive scientific writing. After doing this project the student should be able to describe their method of completing a task to such an extent that another student should be able to follow that method and replicate that task. The task in this project was to create a multi panel figure that displayed evidence of phytophagy at the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus. Although the students are mostly juniors in college, their ability to write a proper methods section in a scientific paper is unknown.
