Buggy Lab Formal Report

[LilBretz]

I'm still confused with how to exactly write this formal report. What do we write in each paragraph? I know the basics, like we need an introduction paragraph and explain our procedure and data and analysis, and have a conclusion. But I'm confused on what goes in which paragraphs. Someone please help me.

Hi Lil' Bretz,

It's up to you to figure out what goes in each paragraph... I know, not the straightforward answer you were looking for, but it also gives you the freedom to meet the requirements of the report in your own style. The formal lab report format can be seen here: http://www.aplusphysics.com/courses/regents/lab_report.html.

Baylor has a nice PDF document talking about their requirements for physics lab reports. Although, as a university, they are considerably more stringent and specific than our high school requirements, glancing through the sample report should give you a reasonable idea of what a solid report would look like: http://www.baylor.edu/content/services/document.php/110769.pdf.

And, of course, you can always come in and ask the instructor for help!

Make it a great day...
