LAB REPORT

SCH4U U3L2 LAB REPORT Grade – 4% Ministry Expectation D2.8 Plan and conduct an inquiry to determine how various factors (e.g., change in temperature, addition of a catalyst, increase in surface area of a solid reactant) affect the rate of a chemical reaction [IP, PR, AI] Instructions 1. You will be writing a lab report on an experiment where you will observing how various factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction. 2. To begin this task, watch this video and make sure you jot down important steps, chemicals and equipment used so that you can write an effective lab report :http://course.coastudy.cn/SCH4U-U3L2-Lab%20Report% 20Assignment.mp4 3. Using the lab format given below, write a lab report on the video you have watched. You may make up values for the results table. 4. Here is the lab format you will be using:UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO LAB REPORT FORMAT The goal of lab reports is: document your findings and communicate their significance. ONLY USE PAST TENSE AND THIRD PERSON e.g the experiment was done and the results were satisfactory. Typical Components       Title Page Abstract Introduction Methods and Materials (or Equipment) Experimental Procedure Results SCH4U U3L2      Discussion Conclusion References Appendices Further Reading 1. The Title Page needs to contain the name of the experiment, your name, and the date. Titles should be straightforward, informative, and less than ten words (i.e. Not “Lab #4” but “Lab #4: Classification of substances as acids, bases or neutral”). 2. The Abstract – A short summary of the experiment which tells the reader if they would like to read the entire experiment. 3. The introduction – the aim or the purpose/reason of the experiment 4. Methods and Materials (or Equipment) can usually be a simple list, but make sure it is accurate and complete 5. Experimental Procedure describes the process in chronological order. 6. Results – All calculations, tables and figures. Name all your tables and figures as table 1 or figure 1. 7. Discussion – Explain, Analyze, Interpret your report. This part of the lab focuses on a question of understanding “What is the significance or meaning of the results? 8. Conclusion – State what you know for sure now. 9. References – state your sources.
