This should be very short, a brief description of the purpose of the
lab.
II. Procedure
Often this can be pasted directly into your notebook. Be sure to note
any changes, or alterations of the general procedure. Again, this should
be brief.
III. Data
I realize that this section could get a little messy, but labelling
is very important. It can be a complete mess as long as things are appropriately
labelled.
IV. Calculations
This is another area which might get a little messy, but again the
key is to label your answers, and indicate what variable you are calculating.
V. Conclusions
This will ALWAYS include a discussion of error, a tabular presentation
of results, and statistical analysis. This should be a concise summary
of all your results with a brief written description of data and results.
