Report
What is a Laboratory Report?

◦ A science lab report is a structured


way of communicating the outcome of
your laboratory work or activity.
OBJECTIVES (5 Points)
◦ The objectives clearly define the purpose of the activity including higher level of
thinking skills.
◦ Make sure your objectives are attainable and measurable
◦ Do not use the words “understand,” “know,” “define,” etc.
OBJECTIVES (5 Points)
◦ Examples:
◦ To be able to identify which of the given instruments provides the most accurate and
precise measurement through the use of mean, standard deviation, and percent error.
◦ To be able to compare the observable structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
under the microscope
INTRODUCTION (5 Points)

◦ The introduction is well-written, which provides a clear overview of the topic.


◦ It uses all proper science vocabulary to introduce the topic.
◦ The introduction is where you introduce the reader to the broader context of your lab
activity and then narrow down to the hypothesis, aims or questions you intend to
address.
DATA & RESULTS (10 Points)

◦ All data are presented in a manner that is organized and easy to read.
◦ Data includes graphs, charts, tables, measures, etc.
◦ Statement of what was observed is written in an easy-to-understand manner that
ties observations to a conclusion.
◦ The results section is where you present a summary of the data collected during
your experiments. This section is not just a copy of the raw data from your lab
notebook. Rather, it may involve calculation, analysis and the drawing up of tables
and figures to present your data.
DATA
& RESULTS
(10 POINTS)
ANALYSIS (10 Points)
◦ Uses observations, data, and other evidence to create a well-supported statement
showing knowledge gained.
◦ This portion is the discussion of the data and analysis of the results.
◦ The analysis section is where you interpret and evaluate your results. To do this you need to
summarize your key results, summarize unexpected results, and explain how your results
relate to your objectives, hypotheses or introduction as stated at the beginning of the report.
◦ Explain your results and discuss them using relevant terms and theories. If any results are
unexpected, explain why they are unexpected and how they did or did not affect the data
obtained.

NOTE: Please include the observation sheet. Answer the guide questions thoroughly.

QUESTIONS
(3 POINTS/ITEM)
CONCLUSION (5 Points)

◦ Detailed discussion of all aspects of experiment, results, suggestions, flaws, etc.


and links to other relevant science.
◦ The conclusion section is NOT identical to the analysis/discussion section.
◦ The conclusion section is where you summarize your report. A conclusion is usually
one paragraph or 200 to 300 words. In this way a conclusion is very similar to an
abstract, but with more emphasis on the results and discussion.
◦ A conclusion NEVER introduces any new ideas or results. Rather, it provides a
concise summary of those which have already been presented in the report.
CONCLUSION (5 Points)

◦ When writing a conclusion, you should:


• briefly restate the purpose/objective of the experiment
• identify the main findings
• note the main limitations that are relevant to the interpretation of the results
• summarize what the experiment has contributed to the broader understanding
of the problem.
REFERENCES (5 Points)
◦ Sources were cited properly following APA citation.

TIMELINESS (5 Points)

◦ Output was submitted on/before the due date.


◦ A deduction of 1 point per day within 5 days of late submission
◦ If submitted beyond 1 week after the submission date, the highest possible score
the group can get will be the lowest from those who submitted on time.
