Part A. A lab write up can make or break your results in the science world. Structure is very important. The article “Materials & Methods” is basically a step by step how to guide for anyone learning how to write a lab report. The introduction should include (in this order); a hypothesis, methods, and the results. The hypothesis explains why the experiment is being conducted, how it connects to previous research, and what the person conducting it expects to happen in the experiment. The methods of the lab explains how the experiment was tested and why the study was preformed in the way that it was. It is also crucial that you include a list of materials used in the section or it will prevent the reader from understanding what actually happened in the lab. The results should be both explained and shown in some sort of table/graph. The most important factor of this section should be the explanation of whether …show more content…
The amount of detail included in the lab write up can make or break it. If you include too much, you're just beating a dead horse. With that being said, you don't want to under inform. It is important to know the balance of detail to produce a well written report. Don't include any information that would make a difference to the readers understanding if it wasn't included in the report. I really liked the phrase “recipe” that was used in the “Materials & Methods” article. It gave a very good example of how not to narrate the write up. It should be told how it was done, not how to do it. The order and specification of the order in which you did things is important. Writing the article from a narrative standpoint vs. bullet points provides more information for the reader as well as sets up a better opportunity to recreate the
The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel, which leaves a clean test tube. Incomplete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce some oxides with less oxygen than the most common oxides. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen to react
Paragraph 1 - How the Law of Conservation of Matter is supported by the experimental demonstrations: In the law of conservation particles and materials are neither created nor destroyed . It was similar towards the experimental demonstrations because nothing changed or destroyed in the processes .Kinetic and potential energy was used in the experiments.

groups. It was conducted to further the research in choice overload and paralysis of the mind.
Each week you are provided with two appendix documents to complete the lab. One appendix contains all assignment instructions. The other appendix is a lab report in which you

**What I want you to pay attention to in the above example is that I have extracted information from the lab manual and condensed it into a logical paragraph that explains some of the important concepts. Notice that I did not include any "fluff" (useless information to make my introduction longer.) Remember that there is no minimum length for any of your sections so you don’t have to worry about adding in anything that is not pertinent to the lab (unless you actually want to include some background info to help develop your ideas.)
Title: Title of lab/experiment. Your name and the names of any lab partners. Your teacher's name. The date the lab was performed or the date the report was submitted. The title says what you did. It should be brief (aim for ten words or less) and describe the main point of the experiment or investigation.
Results: After the first two days, there were no results as I expected. Once the third day arrived, I checked at about 2:00 p.m. and noticed a slight stem coming from a few of the beans that were placed outside in the sunlight. That made my results clear that bean seeds germinate fastest outside with the sun shining down upon them. The fourth day brought more growth to the ones outside in the sunlight and some growth with a tiny stem for the ones inside (room temperature) with sunlight.
The tooth formula is a shorthand technique that biologist use to keep track of the teeth on a particular jaw. The formula consisted of two lines, top jaw and bottom jaw, which were used to count how many incisors, canines, premolars, and molar teeth a species had. Species A, Odocoileus virginiaus (white-tailed deer), had a tooth formula of 0033/3133. On the top jaw, the deer had zero incisor and canine teeth but have three of both the premolars and molars. On the bottom jaw, the deer had three incisors, one canine, three premolars, and three molars. Species B, Canis latrans (coyote), had a tooth formula of 3142/3143. On the top jaw, the coyote had three
With this goal in mind, Micro 310L bridges the gap between theoretical lecture material and lab techniques. However, they could emphasize this connection by focusing on the benefits that come from writing a lab notebook. As a student who has taken many labs at Iowa State University in three different science disciplines, I am qualified to make a slide deck to guide students through the practice of writing a lab notebook. These slides will include an explanation of the material that is included in each section of the notebook. In addition to those slides, there will be examples of lab notebooks for each section that needs to be present in a lab notebook. Also, a description of proper protocol for writing in the lab notebook, such as the use of a pen, will show the student how all professionals write their notebooks. Finally, tips from students and the most common mistakes that the professor sees in student lab notebooks will be incorporated throughout the
To develop an understanding of the metric system and use it to measure common objects. To also learn about how to report uncertainty in your measurements.
An aliquot (5 mL or 500 ml) of sample was filtered through a Whatman Anotop PTFE syringe filter (0.2 µm) and the concentrations of target PHCs were quantified using HPLC-MS/MS. Question: Why not preconcentration such as passing 200 ml through a cartridge to improve sensitivity? How does this method compare with published SPE techniques?

Your Results should be organized into different segments or subsections where each one presents the purpose of the experiment, your experimental approach, data including text and visuals (tables, figures, schematics, algorithms, and formulas), and data commentary. For most journals, your data commentary will include a meaningful summary of the data presented in the visuals
