How to Use the Lab Report Template
Plan Before the Lab
Students fill in page one first: the question, their hypothesis, the variables, materials and safety.
Write the Steps
Have students number each step of the procedure so another group could repeat the experiment exactly.
Record the Data
During the lab, students record each trial in the data table and work out the average for each row.
Graph the Results
On the grid, students label the axes, plot the averages and give the graph a title before they explain it.
Explain the Findings
Students say whether the data supported their hypothesis, name sources of error and what to test next.
