Lab Write-Up Guidelines

As promised, here are the guidelines for the formal lab report due on Monday.  Most everyone was at a good point when class ended, so I hope that you don't have much work over the weekend.

Formal Lab Write-Up Guidelines

 

1. Purpose (1 point): -Why am I doing this experiment?

 

2. Materials (1 point): -What will I need and how much will I use?

 

3. Procedure (2 points): -How will my experiment be run? 

-Will someone be able to repeat my experiment without asking me any questions?

 

4. Hypothesis (1 point): -What do I predict will happen?

 

5. Results (2 points): -What data did I collect? 

                                       -Is it easy to follow?

                                       -Did I make a graph or some other visual of my data?

 

6. Conclusion (3 points): -What do my results show about my experiment? 

-Did I revisit my hypothesis?  Was I correct or incorrect?  Why? 

-Did something happen during my procedure that led to different results? 

    -Would I do anything differently if I were to do this experiment again? 


Have a great weekend!

Mr. Freeman

    mr freeman why whould i have to retake the lab write for it being marked of because you told me to change things on it so i had to bring it 3 days later and you counted off 1.5 so its a 7 instead of a 8.5. So if I retake it I would have to get a 10 just for an 8.5

    Could we talk about this more tomorrow before or after class? I understand what you are saying, and we'll come up with a solution.
