Lab Report Format

 Problem-  What is it that we are trying to
   find out. State it in question form.
 Materials-  What materials are we using
 Observations- about the problem....
  What do we see, feel, smell, etc..
  Compare to something you know
  What do you read on the ingredients?
  What do you know (Prior knowledge)?
 Hypothesis-  An educated guess about the
  answer to the problem...
  We phrase the hypothesis by...
   "I hypothesize that...."
 Test the hypothesis- Experiment
  List the procedure (steps taken)
  This is not in paragraph form it
  is a list!
 Record the results of the procedure on a
  data table.  Be sure to use the
  units of measure, for example if
  we are measuring length be sure to
  write  cm for centimeters.
 Analyze the data-  We create a graph
  Use a line graph to show change
  Use a bar graph to compare amounts
 Draw a conclusion-  This tells us what
  happened and if your hypothesis was
  correct or not.  Nobody ever gets
  point off if their hypothesis was
  wrong!  It is always written in
  the If/then format as follows...
