Lab Report - Due Monday 11/29!!!

Today we started our Lab Report for finishing up our Gravity Car project.  It can be hand-written, and it is due on Monday 11/29.  All of the components of the report are as follows:


Introduction (like the overview of your presentation)
Purpose (why you did the project, what you were trying to discover)
Hypothesis (already written on pg 33 of your notebook)
Materials (already written on blueprint in folder)
Methods/Procedure (use building log to write step-by-step instructions)
Results (table of data)
Graph (graph of data - only if multiple weights tested)
Conclusion (was your hypothesis correct? what did you discover?)

Today in class we wrote the Introduction and Purpose.  We are to finish the whole thing in class tomorrow so you don't have homework over the long weekend! Here is a link that will download the assignment:

Here is the lab-report checklist, which includes sentence starters to help you know what to write.  It will average about one paragraph per section/component (except for data and graph).

Happy Writing!
