How to approach a lab write up for EXP 3A

Name

Date (of experiment)

 

Title of experiment: (as listed in manual/handout)

 

Purpose or Aim: This says exactly what the goal of the experiment is. It may consist of one or more parts. Based on what is stated in the procedure, you should have a very good idea as to what the point of the experiment is. Explicitly and briefly state all in this section. (3 points)

 

Examples: 1. To recrystallize an impure sample of benzoic acid; 2. To determine the melting point of salicylic acid

 

Introduction: This explains the theory behind the experiment. Give some general background as to what the experiment is about. Include definitions of any key concepts that are an important part of the experiment.. (10 points)

This approach can be applied across all topics being covered.
