Organization, analysis, and good writing are important skills for preparing proper lab reports. When using this course with classroom experiments, students learn organizational skills and logical thinking processes to write lab reports that are articulate and well presented papers.

This easy-to-use consumable textbook teaches students how to write ten science lab reports in a step-by-step format. The introductory sections include: What is a lab report? What are the elements of a lab report? What is the scientific method? How do you apply the scientific method? What experiment/science project should be chosen?

• LEVEL ONE: This level teaches students the steps of the scientific method. When used while experimenting, students learn to determine a title for an experiment, formulate a hypothesis, record pre-experiment information, record observations and data, make tables and graphs, and analyze/determine the results of an experiment. This work is all recorded in a log. Students are then taught how to transform and transfer the data from the log to a final lab report.
• LEVEL TWO: This level expands the foundational skills taught in LEVEL ONE by teaching students how to refine and master the log preparation process. This level also spends ample time teaching how to write the content of a report better. Many examples are given on how to improve writing. These reports will contain greater subject depth, analytical clarity, and length. Students are also guided through the process of recording data and transforming it into a final lab report. The result is the production of a first-rate, college level lab report.

  Each level includes the following.

  • Detailed instructions
  • Workbook format
  • Preprinted forms for 5 logs and 5 lab reports
  • Student editing instructions and editing charts

This 140-page course is intended for students performing all types of science experiments.
