Title
Title your lab report with a few words that
summarize the lab investigation.
Purpose
The lab report should begin with one or two
sentences that state the purpose of the
investigation—what you want to see, practice, learn
about, or test. The purpose statement answers the
question "What am I trying to find out by doing this
experiment?"
The three most common types of labs are:
4. inquiry labs, in which you measure how
changing one variable affects another variable.
- discovery labs, in which you observe a scientific
phenomenon, perhaps for the first time.
forensic labs, in which you gather and analyze
data as evidence to build an argumenti
response to a question, as in a court case.
All three types of labs give you an opportunity to
learn important scientific skills and concepts.
