Purpose: (1 point) This section should be written in complete sentences using third person, and present or past tense. The purpose should include the goal of the experiment. If there is more than one part to the experiment you may summarize all goals in this section. This short description should make it clear what skills or knowledge should be gained from the completion of the experiment.
Procedure: (1 points) The procedure should be a step by step set of instructions that is detailed enough that someone could use it to replicate the experiment. This is very similar to a recipe in cooking. You can write this section using paragraphs, numbered lists, or bullet points. If there is more than one part to the experiment, you can have multiple subsections in the procedure.
Data/Results/Calculations: (1 points) In this section you should organize all the observations and data that was collected as part of the experiment, being sure to clearly label each measurement and/or part of the experiment.
Conclusion: (1 points) The conclusion section should be a well developed, separate from the Data/Results/Calculations section. It should be written in complete sentences (third-person, present or past tense) and should summarize the results of the entire experiment(s). You should emphasize what important concepts were explored, what the results showed, what conclusions can be drawn, and how the purpose of the experiment was accomplished.
Notes: The notes section is where you should put information that does not belong in other sections. This would include background information, or anything else that you deem important that was not directly related to performing the experiment.
