Description

Lab Report: Lab report: An informal report that describes work done in any laboratory. It may be directed to someone inside or outside your own organization. Also, it may stand on its own, or it may become part of a larger report that uses the laboratory work as supporting detail. College students write lab reports for courses in science, engineering, psychology, and other subjects. This type of report also exists in technical organizations such as hospitals, engineering firms, and computer companies. The topics to be covered in a lab report are: •

Purpose of work

•

Equipment for work

•

Problems encountered during work

•

Results of the work

•

And in the end, implications

• Statement or restatement of main results. • Recommendations if requested. • Implications of lab test for further work. NOTE: DESCRIBE THE GENERAL FORMAT BY LOOKING AT PICTURE.

The writer himself is confused about what to write. Unnecessary cutting and over writing is done.

Activity: Shown here are two procedural samples for a same experiment. You have to tell us that which of the procedure belongs to a good sample and which one of these belong to poor sample....
