                                                                                            Date
                                                                                            Period
Title                                                                   
                                                       
Purpose
    Clearly state the purpose of the lab
        What is being investigated
        The technique or skill being practiced
Safety Precautions, if applicable
    For example, if working with fire, note locations of fire equipment, and state PPE necessary
    Forexample, if working with bacteria, wear eye protection, gloves, and a lab apron or coat as needed
Materials
    List all materials needed, bullet or list form
Protocol
    List the protocol in step (bullet, list)
    Make sure to include pictures that support the protocol
Data
    Collect Qualitative Data during the experiment: color, smell, texture, gas production, shape, other
            Much of this data will be collected during the observations period,
, INCLUDE drawings and diagrams to illustrate as needed
    Collect Quantitative Data (numerical data): temperature, mass, volume, length, calculations using formulas.         Make sure to include the proper units, no numbers should be without units. Data represents in the proper format: ie:table, graph, chart, or other. Data Tables and charts have a clear title and are also appropriately labelled.
Analysis
    Factual summary of the data. Identify patterns and trends that can be identified from the data.
    No opinion or conclusions go in this section.
    Include an error analysis here - identify things that might have gone wrong in the experiment,
    ie: incorrect measuring, incorrect calculations, spills, leaks, drops and drips, things that were done out of         order. These errors may impact the results, and/or lead to new and exciting conclusions. Do not leave them         out.
Conclusion
    Address the purpose of the experiment - were you successful in accomplishing your goal? Support this with         specific data from the experiment. If applicable, address the hypothesis, did the experiment support the             hypothesis, or not, and why? Discuss possible causes for your results (ie: The plants exposed to the light         had greater photosynthesis occurring, thus producing more oxygen).
    Discuss the impacts your errors may have in the results.
    Discuss modifications to the experiment that would improve the validity of the results.
    Mention additional experiments that could be built on the current one, or that would logically follow from the     current experiment.

Post-Lab questions - as per pre-lab questions, use complete sentences, do not start sentences with IT (or because). Provide thoughtful, clear, authentic responses.
