The Lab Report Expectations

Lab Reports are given 7 days to complete.  They should be typed.  Class time will be provided during Guided Reading.

This lab was assigned Monday, October 20th.  It is due Monday, October 27th.

All Labs must include all 8 elements of the Scientific Method:

Purpose:  The reason you are conducting the experiment

Hypothesis:  A guess as to what you think will happen

Materials:  What “stuff” did you use?  Record this in point form.

Procedure:  What were the steps of the experiment?  This is to be done in point form.

Observations:  Always recorded in a chart.  This is done in point form. Tell me what you “see”

Diagram:  Done with pencil and coloured pencil.  Lines are drawn with a ruler

Application:  How does this experiment apply to real life?  Answer must be minimum of three sentences

Analysis:  This is where you answer the assigned questions.  Each answer must be a minimum of 2-3 sentences. Pg 21 #2, 4, 5
