Lab+Notebook+Assignments+for+Semester+2

=Lab Notebook Assignments=

Now that we know the general format of lab notebooks/reports, we are going to spend time 2nd semester looking at the individual sections of a lab report and how to write them properly. The notebooks are shifting to a reference book for you and not being used as a document you turn in. The notebook will serve as a record of what you did and the data you took during the experiments.

1. We will not be handing in the entire notebooks. You should still complete and record all of your information about the experiment in your notebook, however.

2. For each experiment, you will be provided with a summary sheet containing what components of the lab you will be submitting for grading. Generally, the summary sheet will contain your data, analysis questions, and the section of the lab report we are focusing on for that particular experiment.

~For each experiment, we will look at one component of a lab report (the procedure section, for example) and discuss in class what a good procedure looks like.

3. Depending on the length and complexity of the experiments, the summary sheets will be worth 20-50 points.
