INTRODUCTION
Containing sufficient background information was provided and reliable references were used to
support the contents. Can use Pre-Lab/Review Question from the Textbook as a point do develop
an introduction.
Prelab answer is included in this section.

OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the experiment were concisely identified.

METHOD
Procedures are written with a level of detail necessary for one to replicate the experiment.

RESULTS
Report Sheet from Textbook data should be presented clearly in a logical format (using well-
labelled table/ graph/ figure/ spectrum etc).

DISCUSSION
Analysis of data/interpretation of spectra, relate the findings to the relevant theories, answers all
questions in the laboratory manual or can use Question from the Textbook as a point do develop
a discussion.
Results were explained in detail, that showed a student’s understanding of the important
concepts
demonstrated in the lab.
Scientific reasoning for unexpected or negative results was provided.
All questions (if applicable) were correctly answered.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Outline the important safety cautions being made during the laboratory work

CONCLUSION
Conclusion should be supported by the experimental evidence.
The results and explanation of the results were restated.
Explained any possible sources of errors and how they affected the results.

REFERENCES
