Name, Title of Experiment, Class section, Date
What was this experiment about? What were you trying you discover? The question you write in this section must be specific, focusing on an exact idea. This part of the report is often called the Purpose. (What did the egg and acid solution represent? How did it relate to our studies of the human body?)
This is where you make a statement saying what you thought would be the result of your experiment. This is an educated guess based on what you already know. This also needs to be specific and exact. Your experiment should have tested the hypothesis to see if it was true (proven) or not. Your hypothesis must be testable. (What was your prediction when we set up the experiment? What support did you have or reasons for your hypothesis? Did this change over the course of your observations?)
This is like the directions of a recipe; it is a step by step of how to do the experiment. Someone completely unfamiliar with the subject should be able to read the procedure and be able to repeat the experiment. (How did we set up the experiment? Be as specific as you can using exact measurements when applicable).
Observations and Data: You need to record all observations that you make during the experiment. This should be detailed descriptions of what you saw happening during the experiment. Be as specific as possible (use 5 senses when you can to describe observations) You do not tell why you think something happened, just what you observed. Changes and patterns should also be recorded. Included quantitative data as well when possible.
What did you discover? This is where you tell if your hypothesis was correct or not and WHY you have come to that conclusion. Based this on the results of the experiment. What you have discovered? Tell about something that you learned & discuss possible mistakes that could have been made. Does this experiment lead you to any other questions?
