On this page, you will find two things so far: an excellent document to follow on how to write a lab report and the five questions you will always answer in the conclusion to your lab report.
Five Questions to Answer in the Conclusion
1. Was the hypothesis supported?
2. Use at least three data points to support the hypothesis, or show that it was not supported.
3. If your conclusion was NOT supported, why not? Explain any experimental error or bias that may have affected your results.
4. Recommendations for future research: How could you improve or enhance the procedure for future experiments?
5. What are the practical applications of your research? In other words:
o What did you learn by doing this experiment that could help you with the content you are studying?
o By applying what you learned in this experiment, what real-world problems could we solve?
