Write a summary:
Simply put, a lab report is a way to explain what you have done in an experiment. You describe theresults you obtained and then discuss what you learned. There are several ways to write a lab report,and depending on your class or your instructor, the requirements will vary. But this guide is to helpyou understand the reason why writing a lab report is an important part of the science process. It willalso introduce the basic structure of one type of write-up.In college, any science course you take will require you to do a lab report. But they are not just busywork. They actually serve a purpose. You see, a written report is one of the main ways to share information to other scientists. It communicates the major points of an investigation to others who are ina similar field. This is a systematic way to spread information!Lab reports have their own unique style and format, too. Though you may have been taught to writepoetically and with artistry, lab reports require…

Introduction: The introduction explains the purpose and objectives of the experiment. A goodway to approach this section is to attempt to provide the reader with background, discussing thewhat and why of the experiment. Beginning with a bit of prior knowledge on which the experimentis based, you then try to explain the purpose of the experiment and why it was conducted in a certainway. Often, background information and purpose of the experiment will be found in your sciencetext. The introduction is also the place where you state your hypothesis.Procedure (sometimes called Materials and Methods): This section is importantas it explains to the reader exactly what you used to perform the experiment and how you did it. Itis highly detailed so that another scientist could reproduce your experimental methods in order toobtain the same results and gain extra data. In the case of high school or even undergraduate collegelabs, most of these procedures will be well-known…

1- How would you describe the Lenski experiment and its significance? Could you provide a
concise explanation of the experiment in no more than half a page? Afterward, please
create a visual representation of the experiment using your own drawings. You can utilize
digital applications, such as Paint or tablet-based drawing tools, or hand-draw the diagram
and capture it in a photograph. The visual representation should be schematic in nature,
demonstrating the key components of the experiment. (you can draw the plates, bacteria
etc. I need an explanative image that created by YOU. Any screenshot is not allowed. You
can use paint, any application on your tablets or you can draw it by hand and take a
picture. You need to create a schematic diagram. Here is an example for schematic diagram):

Multiple Choices. Direction: WRITE THE WORD OF the correct answer.
A. Read the description of Jose's science investigatory below. Then Answer the questions
that follow. Write the word/s of the correct answer.
Jose investigated the fungicidal ability of akapulko leaf extracts to kill the fungus that causes athlete's
foot. To extract the antifungal chemicals in the akapulko leaves, he used different liquids such as distilled
water, ethyl alcohol, coconut oil, and acetone. His investigations revealed that the fungicidal ability of the
akapulko leaves was most effective with the use of coconut oil as extracting liquid. He therefore
recommended the use of the akapulko leaves-coconut oil mixture for those suffering from athletes foot. He
also recommended that more study be done on other disease-causing fungi.
Jose further improved on his science investigatory project by quantifying the effectiveness of
akapulko leaves in inhabiting the growth of the fungus that causes athlete's foot. With…
