Lab Reports Biology

The First Section of the Lab- Introduction All Group Member’s Names –First & Last names of all group members should be in the top, right corner Date –Also in the top left corner Title –Appropriate title on the top center line.

The First Section of the Lab- Introduction (continued) Research Question –Why are we doing this lab? What is the question that we are trying to answer? Hypothesis –This is YOUR predicted ANSWER to the question that is being investigated in this lab.

The First Section of the Lab- Variable Table This table must include all variables of interest and their status. All variables must be labeled as (I/D/C) Independent (I change it), dependent (measured) or controlled (kept constant)

Apparatus Drawing This should be a neat drawing that clearly illustrates all equipment and how each variable was measured It is not necessary to be an artist, just do your best and label well :) The First Section of the Lab- Apparatus

The Second Section of the Lab - Procedure 1.The procedure is the step-by-step process you go through to complete the lab. 2.This should be what you ACTUALLY DID as opposed to what the directions said. 3.You may be brief, but you should also be thorough - don’t skip important steps!

The Second Section of the Lab- Data If at all possible you should include a table that contains your data. You should also include any descriptive data in this section. –For example: my sample started out clear and then turned orange after it was heated for 10 seconds.

The Second Section of the Lab - Sample Data Table Molarity (mol/L) Mass change (g)

The Third Section - Analysis This is the section where you should do any calculations that are necessary in your laboratory. A GRAPH should be included in this section if it is at all possible. Any questions that are given with this laboratory should be answered here.

The Third Section Example Graph

In the Third Section - Conclusion PART 1 - CLAIM: Make a claim that answers your research question. Claims should be concise (1-2 sentences) and specific. PART 2 - WHY THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTS YOUR CLAIM: Here you explain how your data supports the claim you made. Make sure that your claim is logically based on your evidence. Part 3 – “What is going on here?” Clearly explain your reasoning for making the claim that you did. How does this make sense? Explain your thinking here!
