OBJECTIVES

READ AND DELETE: (1 Mark)

· A statement of the objectives and the aim of the experiment.

· It should include the reason for doing the experiment and what will be learnt from it.

INTRODUCTION AND THEORY

READ AND DELETE: (2 Marks)

· The introduction identifies the experiment.

· It contains a derivation of a theory and equations related to the experiment and its importance.

· It should include a background of the experiment to make the rest of the report understood.

· This is generally based on a prior knowledge or observations in the lecture. Otherwise, a research should be done before an experiment to understand these concepts.

· The main references can be used to write the introduction are:

· The lab manual,

· Textbooks,

· Lecture notes,

· Other sources recommended by the lab manual or lab instructor.

APPARATUS

READ AND DELETE: (1 Mark)

· It should contain:

· A schematic diagram/ sketch/ picture of the apparatus,

· A list of tools, equipment and materials used,

· A list of the variables used/measured in the experiment (with units).

METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURE

READ AND DELETE: (1 Mark)

· The method of testing and the procedure of the experiment, as per the laboratory instructions and based on up-to-date standards.

· It should describe how the experiment has been conducted in the lab in understandable way. A step-by-step approach is to be used.

· It should also comply with the testing apparatus.

· Laboratory procedures should be written in First person.

DATA AND CALCULATIONS

READ AND DELETE: (5 Marks)

· The report should contain a comparison between the measured data (from the experiment) and the calculated results (from the theory).

· Calculated results should be found from equations derived in the theory.

RESULTS AND GRAPHS

READ AND DELETE: (5 Marks)

· The report should contain graph/graphs or table of interpreted results.

· A brief outcome/ output of the findings should be presented in this section (sum up of the findings).

· There should be a clear title for every graph. The axes should be labelled with the corresponding variable and units used.

· A correlation between the results and the graphs to be established.

SAMPLE OF CALCULATIONS

READ AND DELETE: (1 Mark)

It contains just a sample of the calculations done, not all repetitive ones.

DISCUSSION

READ AND DELETE: (5 Marks)

· Contains a full analysis of the results (judgment) and should comprise;

· Analysis of the experiment’s objectives to determine whether the experiment succeeded or not.

· The observations noted during the experiment and their effects on the results.

· Answers to specific questions in the lab manual instructions.

· A discussion on discrepancies and sources of errors that might arise during the experiment, and the effects of that on the results.

· Back up the discussion by referring to the experiment’s objectives and findings as an evidence.

· Comment on whether the results make sense/ logical or not by providing sufficient and logical explanation.

· Identify systematic errors and random errors in the experiment.

· Systematic errors: errors affected by the accuracy of a measurement.

· Random errors: errors affected by the precision of a measurement.

· Common sources of systematic errors are faulty calibration of measuring instruments, poorly maintained instruments, or faulty reading of instruments by the user or parallax error.

· Common sources of random errors are problems estimating a quantity that lies between the graduations (the lines) on an instrument as well as the inability to read an instrument due to reading fluctuates during a measurement.

· If valid, the percentage error should be calculated to determine the error and to measure the accuracy of a measurement by the following equation (the difference between a measured or experimental value E and a true or accepted value A).

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

READ AND DELETE: (2 Marks)

· It contains a summary of the findings and the key information provided in the report and should comprise:

· A comment on whether the objectives were met, and if not, mention why.

· Real life applications of the apparatus/ experiment conducted.

· Restate the results of the experiment relating them to the objectives of it.

REFERENCES

READ AND DELETE: (1 Mark)

· A list of resources and references used in the report writing following Harvard System of referencing.

DATA APPENDIX/ DATA WORKSHEET

READ AND DELETE: (1 Mark)

· It contains the original data sheet for the experiment (Lab Worksheet).
