Mark Allocation (Total 100 marks)
1. Cover Page and Experiment Title
Cover page include all the necessary information: (a) Course (b) Subject (c) Student Name (d)
Student ID (e) Practical Group Members (f) Date of Experiment (g) Title of Experiment (h)
Lecturers Name
2. Introduction
Based on the title of experiment, give some background information for the reader to
understand the scientific basis of the experiment and the techniques used. Much of the
introductory material should be referenced/cited and listed in the last session: REFERENCES.
3. Objectives
State the relevant objectives or purposes of the experiment.
4. Procedure
Describe the steps you completed during your investigation. It should be written in third person
passive form and past tense. It may be helpful to provide a Figure to diagram your experimental
setup.
5. Experiment Results/Raw Data, Observations
Numerical data obtained from your procedure usually is presented as a table. Data
encompasses what you recorded when you conducted the experiment. Only observations in
observations section; no conclusions drawn. Relevant charts and graphs labeled well.
Remember to title and provide legends for all graphs and tables. The graphs and tables should
be comprehend independently of their association with the text.
6. Analysis and Calculation
The analysis section contains any calculations you made based on raw data. All calculations
should be shown in detail with correct units
7. Discussion
Discuss the experiment and the results obtained. This does not mean you simply report the
results again, but rather interpret and discuss their significance. If problems were encountered
during the course of the experiment, how might they be rectified in the future? Are there any
1

other things we could do to make this a better experiment? Is there more than one way to
explain the results? Lastly, do not spend too much time explaining data that cannot be
explained?
8. Conclusions
It should be a single paragraph that sums up what happened in the experiment, whether your
hypothesis was accepted or rejected, and what this means.
9. Answering Questions
Answer questions from the lab manual precisely.
10. References
If you have cited facts that require documentation, you should list the references (Harvard Style
Referencing).
11. Prelab
Enclosed the signed Prelab to prove that you have read through the lab manual prior to the lab
session and you have attended the practical session.
