Experiment Reports:

Each report is due one week after the completion of the experiment. The reports must be typed or printed. The report format should contain the following:

TITLE PAGE

The TITLE PAGE shall contain your name (all lab partners), name of the experiment, and the date.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This section shall contain and discuss the goals and objectives of the experiment.

PROCEDURE

The PROCEDURE shall describe the steps in which the experiment is conducted, components and equipment used and how the data is acquired if any. The prelab calculations are also presented here.

DATA AND CALCULATIONS

This section shall contain reproductions of the graphs and tables into which raw measurements were placed. Calculations, which led to the results, shall also be presented here.

RESULTS, DISCUSSIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

The results shall be interpreted and discussed here. Conclusions shall also be drawn here based on results and discussions.
