Introduction
All paragraphs are indented and justified [12pt Times New Roman]. Please keep your lab
report to be no more than three pages (title page and data sheet not included) with figures, tables
and references.
Introduction section should clearly state the background, principles and the objectives of
the experiment.

Materials and Methods

Please give a brief description of the materials and methods used in the experiment.
Attach at least 4 photos relevant to the experiment. Include action photos of your group
performing the experiment. A photo of the apparatus is almost always necessary. You must add
label/brief description below each photo.

Results and Discussion

Provide a summary and discussion of results to support the conclusions.
Table 1 This is a style for Table Titles. Table 1, 2, etc. should be in bold. Table captions
should appear above tables.
Figure 1 This is a style for Figure legends. Figure 1, 2, etc. should be in bold. Figure
legends should appear below figures.

Conclusions
Present the conclusions you draw from the results. Be sure that your conclusion reflects
the purpose of the experiment. All conclusions should be clearly stated and supported with
evidence. Cite specific results and observations from the experiment and tie them to your
conclusions.

You should indicate whether your measurements and/or calculated values make sense. Do
they fall within the expected range? In case the data or results appear to be outside a reasonable
range, point out what possible problems might have occurred. When appropriate, recommend
ways to correct problems and improve the experiment. When analyzing sources of uncertainty
and/or error, be specific and avoid using vague phrases such as "human error."
