HOW TO WRITE A PROPER LAB REPORT(A+ Edition)

First off before I start I want to say thank you to everyone who did anything from viewing my last article to subscribing! On my last post (16 Lab Report questions that you have made) we reached a record number of upvotes! Thank you to anyone who read and as of now you can aspect 5 uploads per week. If you have any questions or comments write them down in the comments below I love reading them. Also if you guys have any requests for another, "How To Post" write them in the comments section. For now his a guide on how to write a proper lab report.

1.Title Page
This information must be centered top/bottom, left/right on a cover sheet 12 pt. and double-spaced:
Lab number: Name of the Experiment
Name:
Partners’ Names:
Course:
School:
Date Report Completed:

Don’t write “Lab number”, “Name:”, etc.

1. Introduction and Hypothesis
   The hypothesis must be stated and should be the focal point of the experiment. If there is more than one experiment or hypothesis, you may start this section with the general theme of the lab and then list all of the hypotheses you will test.

2. Materials and/or Apparatus
   Briefly list the materials used in the experiment.

3. Procedure
   Briefly describe how the experiment was performed. Hand sketches or cited quotes from the lab manual may be used.

4. Data/Results
   Type all data tables in this section. Graphs are included here with appropriate titles and labeled axes.
   No conclusions or interpretation of the data should be included here. Sources of error should be included in the Discussion. Note data omissions, if any, with a factual explanation.

5. Discussion
   This is a section of great importance that should reflect your ability to analyze your data, (including the identification of outliers and justification of the omission of the outliers), and tie the underlying principles to the experimental processes. Summarize the important procedures and results without including all of the previous details.
   Explain significant sources of error and how they may have affected the results. Explicitly state if the sources of error will increase or decrease the numerical results. Explain any deviations from expected results. Compare your results to the class average. Explain uncertainties in observations/measurements. Include comments on how the procedures or experimental design could be improved or discuss how additional studies could clarify the results of your experiment.

1. Conclusion
   This is a short paragraph that restates information you have presented previously. Begin this section by stating how the results of the experiment did/did not support the hypothesis. This should be the “short” version for people who want to read the main point of the experiment.

2. Works Cited
   Center the words ‘Works Cited” on a new page. Write them in alphabetical order but do not number them. Double space each line and indent the second line of each reference 20 spaces.

3. Formatting/Grammar/Spelling
