Lab Reports
Writing a good scientific lab report might seem like a difficult task, but it can get easier with practice.
You may have had some practice writing lab reports in 6th grade, and you will be required to write multiple lab reports in 8th grade and in high school. During 7th grade science, we will practice this task, so that you can produce great scientific lab reports for your future science classes.
Because this is a difficult but necessary task, I have provided some resources that can help you write great lab reports. Some of these resources include checklists for your lab report, or reminders of how to create each section. Other resources include templates to help you write your report.
I hope this page is helpful, and I hope it can decrease the mystery of what you need to create a great scientific lab report.
