Guidelines for Sections 1-9

In general a write-up of an investigation should consist of the following components:

*Remember to write in complete sentences, to label all charts and graphs, to define all variables, and to be curious and creative with your investigations.

 


I am providing you a sample of a write-up (click here). This student was running a lab and writing about his procedures and conclusions. It is very similar to what you are doing as you investigate a problem. I just thought you might like to get a sense of a write-up. You may change the format however you wish as long as you include the above components.


Here are some websites that can provide help and guidance and examples of how to this kind of writing (Lab Reports)

This one has it all... I found the"Post-Lab" Section to be very helpful!!

Here's how to analyze data on Excel : http://chemed.chem.purdue.edu/genchem/lab/datareports/

 

These are suggestions and tips from other professors (mostly science... so you can change the word experiment to investigation)
