Chem Experiments: Writing about an experiment

After doing an experiment a report shows your thinking about the experience.  A good report will show your thinking before, during and after the experiment.

The audience is more than your teacher.  Think of this report as a formal document that reports to the scientific community.  The best writers find a way to report on the facts in a clear, organized way.  These writers are good at reflecting and suggesting new ways to do this experiment in the future.

The following documents are meant to help you to organize and clarify your thinking.
