Use this template to write your lab reports for each lab throughout the year.

Necessary pieces may vary


depending on the data that is collected.

Lab Title: _____________________________________________________________________________

Science Practice 1: Concept Explanation

Briefly summarize the underlying biological concept of the lab. __________________________________


_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Science Practice 2: Visual Representation

Create a visual representation that describes the underlying biological concept of the lab.

(open space of several lines to draw)

Science Practice 3 Questions and Methods

Identify or pose a testable question. _______________________________________________________


_____________________________________________________________________________________

State the null and alternative hypothesis. ___________________________________________________


_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Summarize the experimental procedure (description or a flow chart- this will take several lines of space:
(10 lines is probably sufficient)

Identify the independent variable: ________________________________________________________

Identify the dependent variable: _________________________________________________________

Identify the controls/constants: __________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________

Identify the positive and/or negative control(s): _____________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________

Data/observations: ____________________________________________________________________

Data Table (if necessary):


(leave considerable space for that)
Propose a new/next investigation (after you have completed the lab): __________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________

Scientific Practice 4 and 5: Representing and Describing Data and Statistical Tests and Data Analysis

Calculate means and confidence intervals as appropriate. SHOW your work.

Graph as appropriate.

(Leave considerable space for this and you can draw OR paste graph paper into notebook.)

Describe and explain the data, including trends and/or patterns in the data and the relationships
between the variables. Use numbers in your explanations. __________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Using evidence from your experiment, support your evaluation of the hypothesis. __________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Explain the relationship between your experimental results and the underlying biological concepts of
this lab. ______________________________________________________________________________
