OBJ: How do we construct a college style lab report about seed germination? DN: Copy Lab Report notes. ACT: Given notes SWBAT explain how to construct a college style lab report with 70% accuracy. HW: Complete part of Seed Germination Lab (State Problem, Hypothesis; due tomorrow).
LAB REPORT Problem: Why was the lab done? State as a question. Hypothesis: educated guess Materials: equipment used Procedure: Steps taken to solve problem. Results/Conclusion: What did you learn/discover? See data table, graph Abstract/Summary: Briefly explain . . . Why was lab done? Briefly state steps/experiments done. What did you find/learn/discover? (Hint: see data table, graph; be specific).
SEED GERMINATION LAB REPORT Problem: How do seeds germinate (grow) over time? Hypothesis: As time goes by, the plant’s height increases. Materials: petri dish, paper towel, scissors, soil, dixie cup, water.
PROCEDURE Place seeds into soaked towel in petri tray. Place tray on window sill; sunny location. Each day water seeds, record observations and measurements for 10 days. DAY Observation Plant Height (cm) 1 2 3 4 5
RESULTS (graphing):Based on my data the following line graph was constructed DAY PLANT HEIGHT (cm) 1 2 3 4 1.5 5 6 7 3.4 8 3.9 9 4.4 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 PLANT HEIGHT (CM) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 DAY
Conclusion According to my graph, as time increases (day 1 → day 10 ), the plant’s height got taller. My graph shows a direct relationship.
