    The document provides guidelines for writing a laboratory report, including sections for the title page, introduction, theory and methods, results and analysis, discussion and conclusions, and appendices. It details the purpose and content of each section, such as using the introduction to state the experiment's purpose and significance, and discussion and conclusions to examine if the lab satisfied its purpose and what was learned. Graphs, figures, and tables should be used to clearly present results with labels and units.

    Laboratory Report Guidelines

    The purpose of the laboratory report is to document your work in a form that is
    intelligible to someone who is not previously familiar with the details of the laboratory
    exercise.
    Reports should be typed and double-spaced, with one inch margins. The
    following format should be used for the organization of the report:

     Title page
     Introduction
     Theory and Methods
     Results and Analysis
     Discussion and Conclusions
     Appendices (e.g. data, sample calculations)

    The Title page should include the title of the lab, the name of your laboratory
    group members and the date on which the lab was performed. This should be a separate
    page.
    The Introduction section should state the purpose and technical significance of
    the experiment.
    The section on Theory and Methods should explain the relevant theory,
    measurement techniques and procedures for the lab. Be complete and detailed enough so
    that someone who has not performed the lab will be able to understand what you have
    done. Explanations of the equations used in your analysis should be included.
    In the Results and Analysis section, you should summarize and explain the
    results of the experiment. Graphs should be plotted to best show the information gained
    from the experiments. Use linear or log scaling where appropriate, plot experiment data
    as individual points and theoretical or published data as continuous lines, and make sure
    all axes and data curves are clearly labeled. Graphs and illustrative drawings should be
    presented as figures, and numerical data should be presented in tables. Each figure and
    each table should have a number and a caption. When referring to a figure or a table in
    the text, always use the figure number or table number. All dimensional quantities in the
    figures and tables must be accompanied by the relevant units of measure. This section
    should be strictly factual, pointing out agreement and discrepancies between your results
    and those predicted by theory.
    For the Discussion and Conclusions, examine whether the lab satisfied the stated
    purpose, and explain what you have learned. Also, discuss any differences that may exist
    between theoretical (or standard experimental) values and your own results, and discuss
    possible explanations for these differences.
    The Appendices should contain relevant information that is not in the body of the
    lab report, such as the original data sheets and details of calculations made both in the lab
    and as part of your data analysis. Sample calculations should either be typeset or neatly
    written in ink.
    If you use information from textbooks or other references, cite the references in
    appropriate bibliographical style.
