explain the design of the experiment, and state

your hypothesis.

•  Procedure:

 Describe the steps used to complete the

experiment. Write in passive sentences. Eg. (Asmall piece of magnesium ribbon was scratched

•  Results:

 State your observations in a manner easy to

understand (eg. table form).

•  Discussion:

 Discuss about your observations (eg. why there

were bubbles, why the was a ‘pop’ sound, why

the flame was put off, why the solution turned

blue/brown and etc).

 Provide balanced chemical equations for all the

reactions.Monday, May 9, 2011 Lab Report Guidelines F40 CHA 4

  Do comparisons (eg. if some reactions are vigorous

compared to others, provide explanations).

  Compare results with standard observations (refer the

sources from Internet). Discuss the theory from the

internet source. Why theory have reaction? why your own experiment no reaction? Explain your reasons.

  Use appropriate words. For eg. ‘ pungent smell ’ not‘smelly smell’. Test for hydrogen - Burns with a

characteristic 'pop‘ . Effervescence - foaming formedas a result of a gas being evolved from a solid or 

liquid.Monday, May 9, 2011 Lab Report Guidelines F40 CHA 5
