Lab Reports

 Right now the teens are working on a mega Microscope Slide Lab Report.  The kids are combining Experiments 2.2, 3.2, and 4.2 from the first and second Apologia textbook editions. The third edition has all three experiments, 10.1, 10.2, and 10.4, in Module 10.   Our class has made some changes.  We use light microscopes with camera attachments and USB microscopes with lap tops.  The kids are making sketches and capturing images with the camera app on their cell phones or laptops.  The data will be a digital folder with sketches and images or prints from the mini, thermal, printer.  

Here are the lab report rubric and How to Write a Lab Report.  I review  the rubric and guide before each formal lab report.  Below is a decent example of a lab report, which has been revised. My students type the subsections in bold with colons to make grading easier.  They use the third person with either present or past tense throughout the report.  Take a look!
