Experiment Title
The title should be descriptive.
For example, “Titration of Vinegar” is a descriptive title but “Experiment 5”, is not a descriptive title.

NOTES:
The choice of a colored background, image background or just a white background for each section is up to you.
The only expectation is that the text is legible and easy to read.
Just make sure you include a title indicating this is the prelab section
The prelab section needs to be completed (with the exception of the data entry & partners) PRIOR to beginning the lab
Date(s) experiment was performed: (Typed into a textbox)
Partners: (typed into a textbox)
Purpose: (typed into a textbox)
A purpose is a statement summarizing the “point” of the lab.
If the lab covers multiple days, include a purpose statement for each day in this section clearly indicating which day goes with which purpose.
NOTE: This should be IN YOUR OWN WORDS! Do not just copy the objective from the lab instructions.
Procedure Outline:
If the procedure is provided, you need to insert a copy of the provided procedure using the "insert from Drive" option . If you are doing a guided inquiry lab and developing your own procedure, you need to insert the full procedure that you develop using the insert from Drive option. If you are developing the procedure, you should use bulleted statements or outline format to make it easy to read. If you are having trouble with embedding the screen shot image see the help videos (HUB).
If the lab covers multiple days, include the procedure for each day in this section clearly indicating which day goes with which procedure.
Pre-lab Questions:
Students will be given some questions to answer before the lab is done. They will need to either rewrite the question or incorporate the question in the answer. The idea here is that when someone (like a college professor) looks at a student’s digital lab notebook, they should be able to tell what the question was by merely looking at their response. These questions can be written in a text box or you can embed a photo of your handwritten work. The text should be visible-it should NOT just be a link to the document. If you are having trouble with embedding a doc or a photo, see the help videos (HUB).
If the lab covers multiple days, include the questions for both days in this section clearly indicating which day goes with which set of questions
Data Tables (if necessary):
Before the lab you will need to create blank data tables necessary for data collection in the lab in a Google Doc in your shared folder and embed the document here using the "insert from Drive" option. The text should be visible-it should NOT just be a link to the document. If you are having trouble with embedding the doc, see the help videos (HUB).
During the lab you need to record all your data directly in the data table you created in the Google Doc. You are NOT to be recording data on a separate lab sheet or paper. You need to label all data clearly and always include proper units of measurement as needed. Your data table should be complete BEFORE you leave the lab.
If the lab covers multiple days, include the data for both days in this section clearly indicating which day goes with which data table
Safety Considerations:
Students will list any safety considerations (for equipment and chemicals) that need to be considered when completing the lab These considerations should be typed into a new textbox.
If the lab covers multiple days, include the safety considerations for both days in this section clearly indicating which day goes with which set of safety considerations.

NOTES:
The choice of a colored background, image background or just a white background for each section is up to you.
The only expectation is that the text is legible and easy to read.
Just make sure you include a title indicating the beginning of the report
Abstract: (one shared document for each group)
A short paragraph summarizing the experiment that was performed, including the concluding results. It should be written in a new text box or a photo of typed work can be embedded using "insert from Drive" option.
Required: Include an embedded photo of your setup. If you are having trouble with embedding the image see the help videos (HUB).

Required (unless otherwise instructed):
A video of how you conducted your experiment or what happened during the experiment (Specific details will be given by lab)
Optional: The video can include a voice-over if desired
Theory:(one shared document for each group)
A brief statement of the underlying principles or theory behind the lab (1-4 paragraphs depending on the particular lab). It should be written in a new text box or a photo of typed work can be embedded using "insert from Drive" option.
Data:(one shared document for each group)
ONLY REQUIRED IF DATA USED IN REPORT IS DIFFERENT FROM DATA YOUR GROUP COLLECTED
Embed a table of all data relevant to the analysis using the "insert from Drive" option.
If a class spreadsheet is included, highlight your values.
Indicate the uncertainty in the values (i.e. to the nearest 0.01 mL or nearest 0.01 g)
If you are having trouble with embedding the doc see the help videos (HUB).
Calculations and Graphs: (one shared document for the group)
Use a new textbox or embed a photo of handwritten work using the "insert from Drive" option. If you are embedding photos of handwritten calculations or graphs make sure they are neat, legible, and large enough to read easily
Students should show one sample for each calculation that is carried out.
Sample error calculations should also be included.
Graphs need to be titled, axis need to be labeled, and units need to be shown on axis.
NOTES:
If you create your graph using a computer program (like Logger Pro) , you should embed a screen shot of the graph here. Just make sure it is large enough to be legible
If you are having trouble with embedding the doc or image see the help videos (HUB).
Conclusion and Error Analysis (to be done individually by each group member)
This will vary from lab to lab. For each lab, students will be given direction as to what to write, but it is expected that all conclusions to be well thought out, well written and original. This section also may include a post lab error analysis questions that will be tailored to the specific lab. It can be written in a text box or embedded as a Google Doc using the "insert from Drive" option. The text should be visible-it should NOT just be a link to the document. If you are having trouble with embedding the doc see the help videos (HUB).
Reflection: (to be done individually by each group member)
Students should briefly respond to the question: Why did we do this lab? If written, your 1-2 sentence response should be written in a new textbox.
Students should also briefly respond to the question: What is your level of understanding (partial, weak, strong, etc.) of the concepts and/or skills covered by this lab ? The purpose here is to reflect if any additional steps need to be taken to develop mastery. If written, your 1-2 sentence response should be written in a new textbox.
If you prefer, you may substitute another form of media (embedded audio clip, video clip, graphical organizer etc.) to answer either or both prompts. If you are having trouble with embedding media see the help videos (HUB).
