Introduction: Include background information on the topic. Do not reference this information as common knowledge ( be sure to explain everything to your audience). The final paragraph should contain the objectives of the experiment and your hypothesis.
Materials and Methods: Make sure to write this part in full sentences! Do not copy your lab book word for word. Provide enough detail that the reader would be able to repeat the experiment. DO NOT explain routine procedures like how to use a micropipettor, how to calibrate the spectrovis, etc.
Results: Describe the trends and overall ideas you obtained with your results. Do not list the numbers and amounts that you have in your tables. The tables are included to provide the reader with this information. Discuss the ‘what’, not the ‘why’. If you are discussing a table make sure you include the table number as a reference (this is why we put the table numbers at the bottom with the description) Include only summarized data, raw data is not necessary.
Include: Table 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4. One standard curve graph with each tube as a different line for table 9.1 (so you will have 4 different lines with 4 different equations on one graph, make sure you can determine which line matches each equation!) Bar Graph with the Reaction Rates in table 9.4..
TABLE 9.1 and 9.3 NEEDS TO BE IN LANDSCAPE LAYOUT TO FIT ON ONE PAGE.
Remember.. NEVER split table or graph information on two pages, everything must be together.
Every graph should have: Title, x and y axis labeled with proper units, a figure # and description at the bottom and all lines of best fit equations on the graph for standard curves.
***ALL TABLES AND GRAPH ARE TO BE COMPLETED IN WORD OR EXCELL*** hand written or drawn submissions will not be accepted. Do not include the R² equation on the graph unless you can explain to me what it means!
If you make your graph in color to distinguish the lines make sure you send it to me in color! I will be printing them from a library so please keep them simple to use less ink.
Discussion: Briefly restate the results and provide possible explanations for the results in regards to how you personally completed the experiment. Discuss if you support or reject your hypothesis. Present evidence for your conclusions. Point out any inconsistencies in your data, and discuss possible sources of error (if necessary). Answer the questions at the end of your lab manual, but do not answer them in question form! If they are answered in order without discussion, you will lose points. Answer them in flowing dialog with the rest of your discussion section.
Format: Double spaced. 12 point standard fonts. (Times News Roman, Ariel, Calibri, etc.) Last Name and page number in the top or bottom of each page. MAKE SURE TO USE SUPERSCRIPTS OR SUBSCRIPTS IN NOTATIONS WHEN NEEDED. Failure to do so will result in a loss of points.
Write and Format this report like it will be submitted to a scientific journal!
****Make sure to cite any sources if you obtained information from anywhere other than the lab book! Use APA formatting***
