  2. General Information • Lab Reports should be easy to read and precisely convey essential information about the experiment. • The reader should be able to find the information easily so everything in the report should be clearly labeled. • The report must contain the following parts.

  3. The Abstract • The abstract should be a short description of what was done in the experiment plus background information about the scientific concepts involved. • The results of the experiment should be included in this section. • A good abstract is approximately 3 paragraphs that are seven to eight sentences.

  4. Materials and Methods • A list of procedures and equipment should be included in this section. • The list does not have to be all inclusive but should cover the major pieces of equipment and important procedures followed in the experiment. • The objective is to provide enough information so that the experiment can be duplicated.

  5. Results • This section is where all the graphs, calculations, and statistical analysis are presented. • Care must be taken to label all of the components listed above. • The report should include salt and D.I. water boiling point graphs, and density calculations. • Also, the class average, average deviation, and percent error for the difference between salt and D.I. water boiling points should be clearly shown.

  6. Discussion • This section should include a discussion of the precision and accuracy of the experiment. • A discussion of possible errors should also be included.
