Laboratory Reports – During the term there will be 3 “experiments” conducted in either the classroom or home kitchens. While not a true “laboratory,” the expectation is that students will apply critical thinking and data analysis skills as though they were working in a true laboratory setting. Results will be reported in laboratory reports upon completion of data collection. Please see the Laboratory Report Instructions/Rubric at the end of this document for more details. Learning Outcomes 1-7.


**UE Key Assignment will be Lab Report 3 **


You must submit your Lab Report 3 to Chalk and Wire. The Chalk & Wire link is located in the Key Assignment Module. Students who do not submit the assignment to Chalk & Wire will receive a zero. This is a key assignment assessment; the results are used to ensure students are meeting University Exploration program goals. Video and PDF instructions can be found on the course home page. PDF instructions are also located in the Start Here folder.


Lab Report Instructions:


A. Title of exercise


Describe in a single sentence the experiment that you carried out; making sure that the title is fully descriptive of the exercise you carried out.


B. Aim/Objectives/Hypothesis


Provide sufficient background information to orient your reader to the laboratory that you performed. Then, describe in a couple of sentences the aim(s) of the experiment. Please don’t restate what you did; however, mention WHY you did it. For example, “This lab was performed to assess the effect of sunlight exposure on tomato plants.” Your hypothesis should be an if/then statement. “If tomato plants are given unlimited sunlight, then we would expect them to grow to taller compared to plants that are only exposed to 12 hours of sunlight per day.”


C. Methods


Describe how you conducted your experiment. The methods section should be a detailed description of the methods you used for investigating your hypothesis. It should include a description of any equipment used, the timing of your experiments, the protocol for your experiments, etc. You want to include enough detail that another scientist could replicate your experiments following the information you provide.


D. Results


The results section will include any observations made, data collected, etc. You should both describe the observations, data, etc. in words, and include graphs, photographs, and/or figures to enhance your results section. The narrative part of this section should be brief. Concisely state what you did, how you did it, and the experimental results you obtained. Do not restate the methods used. Start with an overview statement of the general trend in your data and then go into more detail about individual data points, averages, etc. that will present a full picture of your results. You should use the text to describe the patterns, trends, etc. that you observe in your visuals (graphs, figures, etc.) and draw the reader's attention to these trends. It is helpful to clue the reader into the fact that you're discussing one of your figures by using notations such as "As illustrated in Figure 2…." You should NOT discuss whether or not your results support your hypothesis or not in the results section; save this assessment for the discussion section of your report. Here you would report a trend in the growth of tomato plants, but not what those results Contact: Cheryl Kozina at Cheryl.Kozina@saintleo.edu or 352-588-8343, Last Updated: 10/15/2018 Page 4


mean in terms of your hypothesis (sunlight did or did not help the tomato plants grow taller).


E. Discussion


Critically evaluate the results & discuss their significance. The discussion section should begin with a discussion of how/if your results support or reject your hypothesis. Following this sentence, you should discuss the major results of the experiment/investigation and go into more detail about how these results support, reject, or modify your original hypothesis. Present a rational analysis of your results. The idea is not to summarize your results (you should have already done that in the previous results section), but instead consider reasons underlying your results. What do your results tell you? Did the experiment work as planned? If not, explain why not? Pay particular attention to any positive or negative controls that were used! Were the values observed higher or lower than expected? Did any errors occur, or were there inherent problems in the experimental procedure? Discuss the significance of the experiment. Finish this section with conclusions that “wrap up” your report. Are there any remaining questions? Were there new questions raised by your investigation? What might you have done differently if you had the chance to do the experiment again?

explanation. Provides objective reflection of own assertions and a


creative assessment.


Exams – There will be four exams during the term covering the previous two modules’ material. Exams include multiple choice short answer questions.


IX. CORE VALUES


This class will focus on the core values of respect and community. Students will explore the core value of community and how this core value applies to the sharing of scientific data, communication of that data with others and the respect required when working with fellow scientists. These values foster an understanding of the natural world around us as well as the scientific community that studies the natural world.

VII. Students With Disabilities


Students with disabilities who may need academic accommodation(s) should contact their academic advisor for information.


VIII. ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY


The Academic Honor Code is published in it entirely in the Saint Leo University Catalog.


The first paragraph is:


“As members of an academic community that places a high value on truth and the pursuit of knowledge, Saint Leo University students are expected to be honest in every phase of their academic life and to present as their own work only that which is genuinely theirs. Unless otherwise specified by the professor, students must complete homework assignments by themselves (or if on a team assignment, with only their team members). If they receive outside assistance of any kind, they are expected to cite the source and indicate the extent of the assistance. Each student has the responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity and to refrain from cheating, plagiarism, or any other form of academic dishonesty.”


IX. Attendance Policy


Students are expected to attend each class meeting. Attendance will be taken. All absences will be coded as “excused” or “unexcused.” Since all students are adults, a verbal reason will be accepted for absence. Prior notification of a projected absence is appreciated. Missed graded work will be made up.


X. Late Work/Make Up Policy


A grade penalty of 2% will be assessed for each day an assignment is late. (For example, if a paper is submitted five days after the due date, a maximum of 10 points will be deducted).


Any missed quizzes or exams must be taken within seven days.


XI. Classroom Environment


Classes will consist of lecture and discussion. Each class session will begin with a brief review of the previous week’s material.


XII. Library Resources


Saint Leo University students in Virginia have a wealth of library resources available for research purposes. The University provides a librarian for reference assistance; online databases with full-text journal articles and e-books; a print collection of books & journals housed in Bateman Memorial Library at Langley Air Force Base; & additional library services provided by Cannon Memorial Library at the University Campus. Many local public, academic, & government libraries are open to students as well. Saint Leo University is committed to providing readily available, quality materials to all its students. This information should facilitate your research.


The Cannon Memorial Library home page at http://www.saintleo.edu/library is your starting point for University web-based library services & resources.
