The document outlines the format for a jotter and lab report when conducting experiments. A jotter should include the title, objectives, materials, procedure as a flowchart or diagram, expected results, discussion, and references. A lab report without drawings should include the title, objectives, variables, hypothesis, materials, procedure, observation/results, discussion evaluating the experiment and comparing expected and actual results, conclusion, questions, and references. A lab report with drawings adds a materials section and requires the procedure be written in passive voice, observation/results include drawings and magnifications, and references be in APA format excluding the lab manual.
