SPH4U

2 Where will you see this? First - fourth year University science courses (sometimes at the college level as well) Engineering Jobs Cross Curricular - Chemistry, Biology, Health Sciences, even social sciences

3 Tip - Prepare a template!
Prepare a template for yourself to have and use for the future. Moving forward, your lab submissions will all be electronic. Creating an electronic copy of your data/error analysis that consists of math intricate math formulas takes a while. As you conduct different experiments, you can change/add to your preset template to save you time. Trust Me → Consider these SHORT examples

4 Summary of Components Formal Lab Submission Title Page Abstract
Introduction (Purpose or Background information) Apparatus (Materials/Equipment List) Lab Set Up (Clear Diagrams and labelling) Procedure (Methods) Data Analysis (Observations) Example Calculations Experimental Theoretical Experimental Error Conclusion/Discussion References Appendices

5 An online reference to consider
Note: Although this is a good place to start, all professors and teachers will ask for particular components to be entered in slightly different formats. Always refer to your course syllabus for each of your different lab entries.

6 Practice with this double slit experiment
