## Introduction

State the problem or question to be answered.[^1]

## Hypothesis

Write a possible solution for the problem or an explanation for the observation.[^2]

## Materials

Make a list of all items used in the lab. Alternatively, materials can be included as part of the procedure.

## Procedure

Write a paragraph (complete sentences) which explains what you did in the lab as a short summary. Add step-by-step details in such a way that anyone else could repeat the experiment.

## Data

Add the data obtained through your experiment here.[^3]

## Analysis

Look over your data and state your analysis in relation to the hypothesis.[^4]

## Conclusions

Write a possible solution for the problem or an explanation for the observation.[^5]

## Attachments[^6]

[^1]: What question(s) are you trying to answer? Some experiments start with an observation and questions develop from further observations. Include any preliminary observations or background information.
[^2]: Make sure this possible solution is a complete sentence. Make sure the statement is testable. An if-then statement illustrates what criteria will support your hypothesis and what would refute it. Identify the manipulated (independent) variable and the responding (dependent) variable.
[^3]: This section should include any data tables or observations. Attach/reference additional files below if necessary. All tables should be labeled appropriately.
[^4]: Look over your data and add graphs and charts here. Determine if your experiment supports or refutes your hypothesis. Do not be afraid of being proven wrong. The experiment is just as valid as one in which you are proven correct.
[^5]: Accept or reject your hypothesis. Explain why you accepted or rejected your hypothesis using data from the lab. Include a summary of the data to help the reader understand your results. Summarize and reference key information. Discuss possible experimental errors and suggest ways the experiment could be improved. List one thing you learned and describe how it applies to a real-life situation.
[^6]: Add additional files to the same group as this file, then drag them with ⌥⌘ Command-Option held into this document to create a cross-reference.
