How to Write a Lab Report

BE ORGANIZED During the experiment: Be sure to include units with ALL numbers you write. Separate the observations that you take into before and after columns Draw anything you MAKE or any PROCEDURES you complete Write notes about the procedures you complete BE ORGANIZED

BE ORGANIZED After the Experiment: Write out the results in complete sentences, this makes sure you know what the results are. Examine the before and after results, and decide whether you have a result worth stating a conclusion based on. Write out any notes about trends that you may see. Write out the procedure in DETAIL Be extremely specific so that the experiment could be replicated based on purely your description. BE ORGANIZED

Putting the report together. Procedure Number your procedure and walk through it or read it to another person to make sure that no steps were missed. Putting the report together.

This is the spot where you introduce the reader to all the information they need to know in order to understand your report. This contains all the background you had, what led you to plan the way you did, and complete the experiment the way you did. This section also includes all of the variables that you plan to test, and how you plan to test them, and what information you intend to get out of it. Introduction

Putting the report together. Results Make sure your results include all of the tests that you performed during this experiment, regardless of whether you saw a favorable result. This section is purely the results of the tests you performed, which will be discussed in a later section (discussion). During this section, when you mention a piece of data that is referenced in a graph or table, you should reference the graph or figure after the data is mentioned. For example: “We found that water cools to room temperature over time (figure 1) “We found that as sunlight increases, so does plant growth (table 2)

Putting the report together. Figures, Tables, and Graphs This section can be included following the results section, or it may be included after the conclusion section. Including the section later in the report allows all the figures to be put at the end and may look more organized. This is the section where you place the tables, and graphs that you may make based on your data. Every figure, table, or graph should include a “figure caption” underneath the item. This caption accompanies the graph, and may state basic conclusions that you can gather from the figure. Putting the report together.

Putting the report together Discussion: This section is where you should talk about your findings and what they mean. This includes references to research materials, results vs. expectations, and issues that may have arisen during the experiment Putting the report together

Putting the report together Conclusion This is your space to use to “sum up” the report. This should a relatively brief section The conclusion allows you to state what you would modify if retrying the experiment. Putting the report together

As with most classes, reports should be in times new roman 12pt font and double spaced Each page should have your last name and page number in the top right of the page in the “header” section of Microsoft word. If you don’t know how to do this, ask. Each section should have a heading with the title of the section bolded. Ex. Discussion ’’’’ ‘’’’ Format
