Lab Report Guide
Directions
Now that the lab is complete, it’s time to write your lab report. The purpose of this guide is to help you write a
clear and concise report that summarizes the lab you have just completed.
The lab report is composed of three sections:
Section I: Experimental Overview
o Provide background information.
o Include the hypothesis.
o Summarize the procedure.
Section II: Data & Analysis
o Include graphs to display trends in the data.
o Identify trends in the data.
Section III: Conclusions
o Identify if the hypothesis was supported or refuted.
o Provide logical reasoning based on data.
o Explain how the experiment could be improved.
To help you write your lab report, you will first answer the eight questions listed below based on the experiment
that you have just completed. Then you will use the answers to these questions to write the lab report that you
will turn into your teacher.
You can upload your completed report with the upload tool in formats such as OpenOffice.org, Microsoft Word,
or PDF. Alternatively, your teacher may ask you to turn in a paper copy of your report or use a web-based
writing tool.
Questions
Section I: Experimental Overview
1. What is the question that you are trying to answer?
How does the presence of additional nutrients affect the process of succession?
2. What is your hypothesis for this experiment?
Plants and grass with more nutrients grow taller. It shows that adding additional nutrients makes
the plant grow faster in a short period of time.
3. What methods are you using to test this hypothesis?

Lab Report Guide
Outline the steps of the procedure in full sentences.
We used a quadrat to examine the land for the experiment.
Half of the plot will receive nutrients while the other half does not
We measured the number of new sprouts and the heights in a 3-week period.
Then we add additional nutrients to the other half that had nutrients
Section II: Data & Analysis
4. What graphs would clearly represent the trends in your data?
Your Student Guide includes information on which graphs to construct. Each graph should have the
following:
a. an appropriate title
b. appropriate labels for each axis
c. an appropriate scale for each axis
d. the correct units for the data
Complete a rough sketch of each graph.
