The 'Procedure' is completed on this page and then the 'Data/Observations' section begins (Note, however, that the student should have explicitly indicated this.)


The 'Data/Observations' section is the single most important section of the report.  This is where the raw data that will support or refute your hypothesis is recorded.  You are the eyes and ears for the rest of the scientific community.  You can never have too much detail here.

Notice how the student made a mistake in the weight of Bottle #1 (entry number eight).  She correctly struck it put with a single line and then wrote the correct value above it.  Scientific integrity requires that we don't try to cover-up mistakes.  We admit them and carry on.
