Science Class

First in class Mr. Finley talked to us about our lab reports and what we should have in them. He also showed us examples of some of the eighth grade lab reports and how we should format them. also he showed us an example of what a real scientist's lab report looks like to give us an idea of how ours should look like. He went over in detail about what each section of the report should look like which i think helped everybody in the class understand what exactly you need in a lab report. in a lab report you need to type it instead of writing it and you also have to include sub headings. the main parts of our lab reports are prediction, hypothesis, materials, procedure, background, and data. For data you have to write a table of your data and explain it underneath. Then for background you have to write your observational experiment, questions you have about your experiment, and observations. In class we got to look ay our bacteria for the first day of the experiment. most of the groups didnt have any bacteria except for one which had a little bit of growth. we recorded these results in our tables that we made for the experiment. also today we learned about qualitative data and we made a table for our qualitative data.
