RP Student Lab Report Template

The document provides a template and assessment criteria for a science practical assessment. It includes sections to plan the experiment by identifying variables, justifying equipment choices, and describing the methodology. It also includes sections to record raw data, process results in tables and graphs, draw a conclusion comparing results to literature, and reference sources. The assessment criteria cover following instructions, planning and carrying out the experiment independently, identifying hazards and working safely, collecting and presenting data, and analyzing results supported by research.

The printed method must be on your lab
bench. Tick off steps as you go along.
2.a. Use appropriate apparatus, materials and
techniques to carry out the investigation with
minimal assistance or prompting from lab

appropriate apparatus can be evidenced in a Y Y
practical where you have planned the whole
experiment or in a practical where you have
been provided several options available to
measure something.
