Project Lab Report due Monday

Lesson:

  1. Please make sure “Bounce that Ball Planning step 2” is shared with all team members.

  2. After your report is finished, please delete the instructions and tips I placed at the bottom of the document.

  3. Here are some tips for wrapping this up:

The first five sections of the report (Experimental Question, Hypothesis,

Prediction, Variables, and Method) have all been completed and approved for each group. One team member controls the document with the team's work and the students have been instructed to "Share" this among all team members. Your child needs to make sure they have copied this finished work into the appropriate sections on the lab report.


The next section is titled "Data and Results." Begin this section with a sentence or two introducing the reader to what they will find here and paste in the data table that was completed for this lab. Each student owns their own copy of this work and it is located in Google Classroom.

The next section is titled "Analysis." Begin this section with a sentence or two introducing the reader to what they will find here and paste in the graph of the "Percentage Bounce" results prepared in class into this section. This graph is located in the same Google Classroom assignment as their data table.

Capture.JPG

The final section is for the conclusion. The following worksheet was prepared in class as a graphic organizer for the conclusion. It is a good guide to writing it. Scientific Conclusion Worksheet.docx

Students should proofread their work for spelling and grammar and make sure the document has all unnecessary spaces removed. It should be in Times New Roman #12 font with 1.5 line spacing. Skip one extra line between each section. Don't forget to "turn it in"!
