Labs will be written with the following format-everything that
is underlined is to be written and underlined in your write-up!
The numbers in parenthesis after each section is the number of
points that each section is worth.

PUT YOUR NAME AND STUDENT NUMBER IN THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER
OF THE FIRST PAGE OF YOUR LAB REPORT.  UNDER YOUR NAME PLACE
THE NAME(S) OF YOUR LAB PARTNER(S), AND UNDER THEIR NAMES PLACE
THE DATE.

LABS HAVE TO BE WRITTEN UP IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER(-10PTS IF YOU
DO NOT)!!!

		TITLE: The name and number of the lab
		
		PURPOSE: A brief statement telling what you are trying
			to do.

		DATA: Actual readings or observations in tabular form
			anything you can experience through your senses is
			data(sight, smell, touch, hearing, etc.)
			INCLUDE UNITS WITH YOUR NUMBERS!! IF YOU HAVE A
			DATA TABLE(FROM LAB SHEET) INCLUDE IT HERE AND
			PUT THE CALCULATIONS ON THE NEXT PAGE(IF
			NECESSARY)!! DO NOT WRITE "SEE ATTACHED SHEET" AND
			STAPLE THE DATA ELSEWHERE!!!

		CALCULATIONS:  Any math done on data- if you add,
		    subtract, multiply, or divide to get something
			INCLUDE UNITS WITH YOUR NUMBERS!!! Circle your
			answers.

		QUESTIONS: (If any-not all lab procedures ask
		    questions) Write the question and answer it
			(briefly and to the point)

		GRAPHS: (If any) Use graph paper, fill the page with
		    the graph, label graph at the top, label each axis
			with units, draw a line showing the trend of the
			lab(line does not have to pass through each
			dot!)SEE SAMPLE GRAPH IN NEXT SECTION!! GRAPH GOES
			HERE AND CONCLUSION WILL FOLLOW IT.

		CONCLUSION:  THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE LAB!!!(50!)
			WHAT HAPPENED: Show pertinent data OR calculations
				-do not give lab procedure-express what has
				happened in in the lab to the point, and back
				up your statements with numbers when
				possible(10 pts).

			WHY IT HAPPENED: THE HARDEST PART OF THE WRITE-UP
				You may have to use outside reference
				materials to show the chemistry behind the
				experiment.  You need to find the appropriate
				material to explain why the lab worked, and
				the underlying concepts that are
				involved.(20 pts)NO PROCEDURE/DO NOT TELL
				WHAT DID OR GOT IN THE EXPERIMENT!! You
				present the CHEMISTRY behind the experiment.
			RELATE THE LAB TO THE TEXT BOOK- State the page
				number in your book where the lab you
				performed is related to the material in your
				book-give a brief synopsis of what your book
				states.(10 pts)
			ERRORS: Discuss where errors affected your
			    results.  If mathematical values were used to
				prove your experiment and there is a known
				mathematical answer, express your error as
				percent error.(10 pts)
				%ERROR=RIGHT-WRONG/RIGHT x 100

		Labs:  A 20 point section called Lab Technique
		(LT) will be added to your lab grade.  You will
		not write-up this section, everyone will start of
		with 20 points.  Points will be deducted for not
		staying on task in lab, violating safety rules
		(goggles etc.), or disturbing or distracting other
		lab groups.

		SUBMITTING A LAB WRITTEN UP OUT OF ORDER WILL RESULT IN
		A 10 POINT DEDUCTION.
