Directions Now that the lab is complete, it’s time to write your lab report. The purpose of this guide is to help you write a clear and concise report that summarizes the lab you have just completed. The lab report is composed of three sections: Section I: Experimental Overview Provide background information. Include the hypothesis. Summarize the procedure. Section II: Data & Analysis Include graphs to display trends in the data. Identify trends in the data. Section III: Conclusions Identify if the hypothesis was supported or refuted. Provide logical reasoning based on data. Explain how the experiment could be improved. To help you write your lab report, you will first answer the eight questions listed below based on the experiment that you have just completed. Then you will use the answers to these questions to write the lab report that you will turn into your teacher. You can upload your completed report with the upload tool in formats such as , Microsoft Word, or PDF. Alternatively, your teacher may ask you to turn in a paper copy of your report or use a web-based writing tool. Questions Section I: Experimental Overview What is the question that you are trying to answer? What is your hypothesis for this experiment? What methods are you using to test this hypothesis? Outline the steps of the procedure in full sentences. Section II: Data & Analysis What graphs would clearly represent the trends in your data? Your Student Guide includes information on which graphs to construct. Each graph should have the following: an appropriate title appropriate labels for each axis an appropriate scale for each axis the correct units for the data Complete a rough sketch of each graph. What do the data in your graphs tell you? Explain in one or two sentences what trend the reader should observe in each of your graphs.
