  1. Writing a Good Lab Report Foldable

  2. Question • Rewrite the question / purpose to the lab. • The question/purpose is found on the lab worksheet that accompanies any lab that is done in class. Question/Purpose Which side of a penny will hold the most water?

  3. because (whyit is thought this will happen). then (what will happenas a result of the test). This is a guess as to the answer to the question of the lab. If (what will be donein order to answer the question of the lab). Hypothesis “If” part is the independent variable “Then” part is the dependent variable If water is dropped on both sides of a penny then the heads side will hold more because it has less designs carved into it.

  4. List out the materials with the amountsused. Materials and Procedure Materials 1-penny 1-medicine dropper 1-beaker filled with water 1-paper towel

  5. Summarizethe procedure from the lab. Materials and Procedure

  6. Qualitative Observations • During an experiment, good scientist’s write down observations that they describe what is happening during each test. • How did the variable act(or respond) in each test? • Did the variable do anything unusual? • Where there any differences between the tests of each variable? • For qualitative observations to be valid, they must be recorded duringthe experiment is happening. • These notes are then used to create a descriptionof what happened during the lab. • The description needs to make senseto the lab. • The description needs to be detailed.

  7. While doing the lab, record observations on a scratch sheet of paper. Use those observations to formulate the qualitative observations in your lab report. Qualitative Observations • Heads Side • 1st trial , dome of water formed. • 2nd trial, dome of water formed. Drops appeared bigger out of the dropper than the first trial. • 3rd trial, dome of water formed. • Tails Side • 1st trial, dome of water formed just like it did on the heads side. • 2nd trial, dome of water formed again. • 3rd trial, dome of water formed. • Noticed it was hard to have dropper at same height for each trial. Qualitative Observations In all three trials for both the heads and tails side of the penny a dome of water formed on top of the penny. It was noticed that on the second trial for the heads side of the penny, the drops of water coming the dropper appeared to be bigger than the drops from the other two trials.

  8. Data Table Quantitative Observations This is the “if”part of the hypothesis. Summarizes what you are testing. This is written in the far left column. This variable is found in the “then”part of the hypothesis. This is what is being measured. This is written in the far right column. Title needs to connect the independentand dependentvariables Title Result of the first item being tested result First item being tested Second item being tested Result of the second item beingtested

  9. Title needs to connect the independentand dependent variables Graph Quantitative Observations Title Hint: Only graph the far right column from the data table. unitsmeasured in (if applicable) dependentVariable Create a scale starting at 0 and going up in equal increments First item being tested Second item being tested independentvariable

  10. Number of Drops a Penny Can Hold Analysis Number of Drops on a Penny 0 5 10 15 20 • Take the results of graph and writeevery data point in a complete sentence. • Then explain how the independentvariable is related to the dependentvariable. • Analysis means to analyze. • To analyze means to breakdown the results of the lab into parts so to explain why the independent variable got the results it did. Heads Tails Sides of the Penny

  11. Conclusion • Conclusion has the following partsin order using complete sentencesand good grammar: • Rewrite the hypothesis. • Write whether the hypothesiswas corrector incorrect. • Give support for the answer to the hypothesisusing the quantitativedata (numbers). • Give support for the hypothesisusing the qualitativedata (senses). • Write what experimental errorhappened while doing the lab. • Write out the question /purposeto the lab. • Write out the answerto the question of the lab (it may be the sameor differentfrom the answerto the hypothesis). • Give supportfor the answerto the questionusing quantitativedata (numbers). • Write out oneway the lab can be improved. Improvement needs to solve the experimental error.
