1. Lab Report Writing
Our 1st Real Lab!!!

2. Title:
A brief, concise, yet descriptive title Today’s Title: Solving a Problem with a Scientific Method

3. Statement of the Problem:
What question(s) are you trying to answer?
Include any preliminary observations or background information about the subject.
Question:
Do the flasks contain the same liquid?

4. Hypothesis: Write a possible solution for the problem.
Make sure this possible solution is a complete sentence.
Make sure the statement is testable.
Hypothesis:
If the liquids are the same, then they should have the same reactions under the same circumstances.

5. Materials: Make a list of ALL items used in the lab. Materials:
Flasks Beaker
Fluid A Fluid B
Rubber Stopper Paper towels

6. Procedure:
Write a paragraph (complete sentences) which explains what you will do (or did) in the lab. This might also be written in a list of steps, like a cookbook.
Your procedure should be written so that anyone else could repeat the experiment.

7. Our Procedure:
Observe the liquid without touching the flasks. Note observations
Using two hands, shake flasks, taking care to ensure the stopper does not come out. Note observations.
Pour fluid from Flask B to equal the amount in Flask A. Repeat step 2.

8. Draw a picture of your setup

9. Results (Data):
This section should include any data tables, observations, or additional notes you make during the lab.
You may attach a separate sheet(s) if necessary.
All tables, graphs and charts should be labeled appropriately.

10. Data First Observations w/ no touching Similarities Differences
List what is the same
List what is different
Second Observations w/ shaking
Similarities
Differences
List what is the same
List what is different
Third Observations w/ equal amounts of
liquid and shaking
Similarities
Differences
List what is the same
List what is different

11. Analysis
Use words to describe what the data tables, and/or charts show us.
Short and sweet what’s the bottom line?

12. Conclusions:
Accept or reject your hypothesis. EXPLAIN why you accepted or rejected your hypothesis using data from the lab.
Include a summary of the experiment, data- averages, highest, lowest, etc. to help the reader understand your results.
List one thing you learned and describe how it applies to a real-life situation.
Discuss possible errors that could have occurred in the collection of the data ( experimental errors)

13. HOME work…ha!
After the movie, write a paragraph describing your solutions or ideas to slow the changing of our planet. Base your ideas on information provided in the movie. Factcheck: locate 2 sources of information that back up information presented in the video. More for extra credit!
