Learning Objective #4:Ý to help you develop a fuller understanding of the lab report through
a description and analysis of its parts
To write good reports, you need to have a clear sense of what you
need to do in each part of the report.Ý
PRACTICE: Go back to the list of the parts of the laboratory report
you made above and describe, as best as you can, what you think the role
of each part is.Ý Your lab manual may give you a brief description of the
parts of the lab report.Ý If you find this in your lab manual, compare your
descriptions with those in the lab manual.
