Lab Resources to Help Your Lab Write-Ups

SETTING UP YOUR LAB NOTEBOOK
 * Number __ALL__ pages in upper right or upper left corner
 * First 2 pages save for TABLE OF CONTENTS
 * Last 2 pages save for SKILLS LEARNED section

BASIC RULES FOR KEEPING A LAB NOTEBOOK
 * ALWAYS write in blue or black pen. Gel ink preferred (does not dissolve in most liquids).
 * Colors can be used for diagrams and drawings.
 * NEVER use white-out. Cross out mistake with single line, then initial.
 * Draw a single line through any large open areas to prevent possible last-minute "additions" by other people
 * Staple or tape all graphs, charts, and pictures. DO NOT use glue.
 * Indicate which pages the lab continues on to.
 * Sign your name and date when you complete the lab. If you get a peer review, have them sign and date your lab book.

RUBRIC FOR LAB WRITE-UP
 * For lab write-ups, a Peer Review will serve as a formative assessment (not factored into grade) while the Teacher Score will be the summative assessment (what is inputted into the grades).
