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.

Project Progress Spreadsheet - Keep track of your progress here (sign in as member of AISB to access)

Lab report form - Organized into sections with guidelines for each

Report feedback rubric - Feedback on how to you are meeting reporting standards

Example of a finished lab report - Thank you Emma K.
Example student lab report in progress - Thanks Kyungchan M.!
Example lab report - Example using experiment on temperature and molecule movement
