How to Prepare a Lab Report - Grade 7 Science
Each time we do a lab in class, you will be required to complete a lab report. If you are working in pairs, you are both required to hand in a lab report. Even in most cases your information is the same.
When we do a lab in class, you will be given a sheet that includes information on the lab we are doing as well as the analysis questions you will have to complete for your report.
General guidelines for preparing a lab report:
o The Lab Report should be typed, Times New Roman 12pt Font.
o All drawings or graphs should be at least ¼ to ½ a page.
o All drawings must be done in pencil.
Follow these steps to be sure that you have a complete and satisfactory lab report.

-Your full name
-Partners full name
-Course
-Teacher
-Date of Lab
-Lab Title
Name: Eryn Hessian
Partner: ....................
Course: Grade 7 Science
Teacher: Ms. Hessian
Date of Lab: October 20, 2003
Lab Title: Microscope Lab One
2. PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES
What is the experiment designed to find out or demonstrate? Look back at the title, procedures, and introductory paragraphs of the activity sheet to understand the purpose. This should be written in complete sentences.
Purpose:
This experiment will show us some parts of a cell, such as nucleus, cell membrane, and cytoplasm. We will be able to see a living cell. Staining it with iodine will help us see the parts with more contrast.
3. HYPOTHESIS
Write a clear prediction of what you think will happen and why.
Hypothesis:
I predict that I will be able to see the nucleus, because of the high power magnification, and also because I will stain the cells with iodine to have a more visible look.
4. MATERIALS
· Write a list of the materials that were used in carrying out the lab.
Materials:
1. Microscope.
2. Cheek cell.
3. Water dropper.
4. Glass slide.
5. Cover slip.
6. Iodine.
7. Toothpick
5. THE PROCEDURES/METHOD
· Make a number or lettered list or outline of the steps you will need to follow as you perform the experiment. Your goal is to write enough information so you will know what to do, or that someone who has never done this lab would be able to follow YOUR instructions step by step.
· You need not use complete sentences here.
Procedure:
1. Take a clean toothpick and rub it over your cheek.
2. Place what you collected from your cheek on the glass slide.
3. Add the cover slip.
4. Drop a tiny drop of iodine next to the cover slip.
5. Examine the slide on scanning, low and high powers
6. DATA AND OBSERVATIONS
· This section will tell the story of what went on during the experiment.
· As you do the lab activity you are to take notes based on your observations.
· Get everything down, don't wait until later.
· If a chart or table is needed, make one.
· If drawings are necessary do them *AT THE TIME YOU MAKE YOUR OBSERVATIONS*.
· Your drawings must be large (one-quarter of the page), labeled, done to scale (if possible), with measurements and neat.
· Drawing should be in pencil.
DATA AND OBSERVATIONS:
When I started to "rub" the toothpick over my cheek, I thought I wasn't grasping anything. I tried "rubbing" harder, nothing again. Then, the teacher told me that even if I didn't see anything on the toothpick, I was getting cells. So I gently put my cheek cells on the glass slide and slowly covered it with the cover slip. I put some iodine so that the cells would get stained. Then, I started to examine it. We had to start examining then with the 'scanning level', which is the lowest. After that, I went to the other two different levels on the microscope. When I couldn't see clearly, I adjusted it with fine or the coarse focus knob. The cell was very interesting, I never thought that a tiny and almost invisible part of my cheek, would show me all this. I had to draw pictures of what I saw. On the high power, the nucleus, the cytoplasm, and the cell wall, were pretty much visible.
7. ANALYSIS QUESTIONS/DISCUSSION
· Analysis Questions can be found on the sheet given to you at the beginning of each lab.
· Answer the analysis questions at the end of the activity. You must use complete sentences.
· This is one of the places where you show you understood what you did in the activity.
· Do not write down the questions but do answer in complete sentences that clearly reflect the question being answered.
Analysis:
1. We added iodine to the cheek cells so that the cells would become stained or colored. Stained or colored cells are easily visible and organelles become more obvious.
2. The nucleus was the most visible structure in the cheek cell.
3. A cheek cell is of course and animal cell, because it is a human cell and humans are classified as animals.
8. CONCLUSIONS
The conclusion requires reflection about the lab and should be in the form of a well-written set of paragraphs. You may want to try making an outline or rough draft of this before writing your final draft.
What to put in your conclusion section:
Look back at your purpose. Was the purpose satisfied? If you had a hypothesis, was it correct or incorrect, and what did you learn from the outcome? What general conclusions can you make about how your observations helped you gain a better understanding of the topic being studied? What specifically did you learn and how can that be applied to your life today or to your understanding of the world. What did you learn about the "Big Questions" associated with this lab? Demonstrate your understanding.
Conclusions:
My hypothesis was correct because I did see the nucleus. My purpose was correct; the iodine stained the cell parts, and definitely made them more visible. I learned that even the tiniest speck of living organism has all the components of a cell, if not, it wouldn't be a cell.
One way to be a good student is to develop effective learning skills as follows.
Many people feel the hours of study are the most important. However, students can study for hours on end and retain very little. The more appropriate question is, "how can students study more effectively?" Some issues students must consider are as follows. * Students need to develop good time management skills. They must realize there is a time to be in class, a time for study, time for family, time to socialize, and time to just be alone. The critical issue is recognition that there must be an appropriate balance. * Students should acquire a vision; A clearly articulate picture of the future they intend to create for them selves. This will promote a passion for what they wish to do. Passion is critical and leads to an intense interest, dedication, and commitment to achieving career goals and objectives. * The student must choose the best study schedule, a time they feel is comfortable, and in a place where there is little distraction. * The student must take notes on the subject matter and rehearse them frequently. * Students should not study hours on end. One should study 30 to 45 minutes then take a short break. Eat a snack, have a cup of coffee, play with the dog, etc., then return to study. This refreshes the mind, and often issues that may have been confusing before, become suddenly clear. * The student must develop good critical thinking skills, taking everything into consideration particular to the subject matter. * Students must not be afraid to ask for help when they have a problem understanding the subject matter. They need to do it immediately and not after days have gone by. They should not feel apprehensive to ask a faculty member, a friend, or go to the academic learning center at the school. Thus, it is not so much a question of hard study, but how to study in smart fashion. The bottom line is that the student must take responsibility and ownership over their study habits.
What is the importance of research paper?
In simplest term paper is a homogeneous sheet formed by irregularly intervening cellulose fibers. Related Question: What is Cellulose Fiber? An elongated, tapering, thick walled cellular unit, which is the main structural component of woody plants. Fibers in the plants are cemented together by lignin. In British English Fiber is spelled as Fibre.
How does conducting academic research differ from general research?
Research in education is a systematic process that uses actual methods to resolve a problem.
General Research
It is a well-defined and scientific process with the goal of gathering together information from solving a problem.
-
General research identifies potential and new customers.
-
It understands the existing customers.
-
It develops effective market strategies.
-
It identifies new business opportunities.
Educational research
It consists in providing solutions to different problems and improving teaching and learning practices.
Educational research is basically categorized into 3 parts:
-
Descriptive Research: It is a study designed to describe a population or an environment. It focuses on answering how, what, when, and where rather than why.
-
Correlational Research: It is a non-experimental method of measuring two variables and understanding their relationship statistically.
-
Experimental Research : An experiment was conducted using two sets of variables in a scientific manner.
Well, I hope this will help you to understand both types of research. or you can consult with professionals which already working in research specialities such as Silver Lake consultancy, SPSS-Tutor, etc. They will surely help you out .
Why a conceptual framework is necessary?
The purpose of conceptual Framework are
1.To inform the process by which the unit develops its goals
2.TO articulate the goals of units
3.To ensure that administrators, faculty, K-12 partners and candidates are working towards the same articulated goals
4.To ensure that the goals encourage professionally sound commitments and dispositions.
What are the essential features of business?
Typically, business is an organized effort by individuals, to produce and sell for a profit, goods, products, and services that satisfy societies needs. You can break this down into three major components as follows:
Organization
* Organization of material resources * Organization of human resources * Organization of financial resources * Organization of informational resources ( particular to the internal and external environment of the firm). Satisfying the Needs of Society
* Basic physiological needs * Societies wants and desires Profit
* What the firm has left after all expenses have been satisfied * The reward which can be used as seen fit.
What is an example of good parallelism in a formal outline?
all entries following capital letters are proper nouns.
Empirical knowledge come from observation only. You don't know why or have any idea of why reaction A follows situation B but you have seen it happen so many times that you KNOW that is what is going to happen.
People knew that things fell down long before there was a theory of gravitation. Such knowledge was empirical.
Empirical knowledge not only comes from observation but also by testing.
How can students avoid plagiarism?
The best way to avoid plagiarism is to keep careful track of the articles you read and use in your research. Even when you paraphrase, if you use someone else's ideas, you should include where you got the idea as one of your sources. Also, make sure you use quotation marks correctly when you are quoting something, so that anyone can tell which words in a written document are yours and which are ones where you are quoting someone else.
Usually, serious plagiarism where you can get into trouble is more deliberate, as when people copy and paste things directly without giving credit, but stealing ideas is also a form of plagiarism, so it is always better to list all the books or websites you read when developing an idea for your paper.
You can avoid plagiarism but asking the person who you want to take the information from or if you cannot reach them or if they have past away ask their families. If their family says no or you cannot reach their families you cannot use the information or text.

You can also avoid plagiarism by checking your work with already uploaded work on different websites through various plagiarism checker tools, one of those plagiarism checker tool, free for use can be found at duplichecker.com
Note: The above relates only to the issue of copyright violation. If a source is not copyright, unacknowledged copying or use of information is still plagiarism - and is unethical.
Develop the ability to evaluate and synthesize information from a wide range of different sources and express your findings in your own words with due acknowledgment of all sources.

How to cite a report within a report?
Just give a credit to the report you have added to the main one.
A sponsorship proposal has to include a case and a remedy. Proposals get good funding because they have a plausible justification, resolution strategy and needs analysis.
A good thesis statement will give a prelude or "prediction" on what you intend to show in the rest of your essay.
For example, let's say you wish to show that acids have great benefits to people, but also have some dangers and drawbacks. A thesis statement will usually occur in the first paragraph of an essay, or the second, after a brief introduction of the topic matter. A thesis statement might read, "Acids are useful to humans in many ways, including preserving foods and providing nutrition; but acids can also be dangerous, and have caused many injuries and deaths." A "thesis statement" would be one sentence, but a "thesis" could be composed of several sentences, explaining what you hope to show.
Then, you would present the body of your research, with some references, and make your conclusion.
With an essay about the importance of certain factors in a romantic relationship, you may want to research the factors that are involved and draw a conclusion about two or three of the factors that you think would be most important. So your thesis statement might be something like, "There are many factors which play important roles in the development of a romantic relationship, but the most important of these are X, Y and Z."
Or, you may decide, based on your research, that all factors are equally important, and try to show that with the rest of your essay.

What is the diffference between works cited and works referenced?
A citation is a specific source that you mention in the body of your paper. The format may change depending on the style of use.
A reference is a list of the sources that are cited. The reference is listed at the end of the paper.
What is a background research paper?
It means research that supports your thesis, your main idea. You can get this information online, from an encyclopedia, or from a book, as long as you properly cite it in a bibliography. Otherwise it would be plagiarism!

How Do You Write a Report For Research Assignment?
the standard format for a report is:
first you have the title
then you have the introduction
then the body of the text
then the conclusion
and maybe you might need to have a bibliography
but if you're writing a report for a science experiment, you need to start out with your hypothesis, or what you're trying to prove. next, talk about what methods you used to test your hypothesis, what data you observed, and then whether or not your hypothesis was correct.
What are the characteristics of good problem solvers?
A good problem is one that is the result of success or one that can have good results. A good example is that of a Chimpanzee being so good at sign language that it tricks the humans taking care of it.
Why is financial research important?
Financial accounting is important because they play a vital role in the every field of life. Mostly in all types of business financial accounting is used.
Discuss the Role of Research Hypothesis in a research Project?
In science, a hypothesis is an idea or explanation that you then test through study and experimentation. Outside science, a theory or guess can also be called a hypothesis. A hypothesis is something more than a wild guess but less than a well-established theory.
Which is a helpful way to choose a topic for a research paper?
To narrow down a research topic, a student must first decide what he or she wants to research. For example, a student may want to research bears. Then, the student should decide what type of bears he or she would like to study.
