Also, i will attach an example of the work with the feedback that student received in order for you to follow the feedback as well please. I will also attach my results from the experiment in order for u to carry out the rest with the charts, calculating error percentage, error bars, graphs, etc… lastly, i will attach the paper we were given in the lab which has the instructions, materials and everything u will need especially for the materials and methods section where it is mostly paraphrasing, thank you.

This assessment is to test your ability to carry out an experiment, interpret the results and write a laboratory report. You are required to plan and carry out a virtual experiment. You should record your results and then write a lab report for your tutor, detailing your methods, results, discussions and conclusions. You must describe any safety precautions that would be taken in a physical lab and list all steps taken to ensure a fair test.
Your lab report should contain the following sections: • Introduction. You should give a brief overview of the main theories behind the experiment. What is the background to this experiment? • Aim. Clearly state the aim of the experiment – what are you trying to determine? • Materials and methods. You should explain how the experiment was carried out. You should give enough detail so that another person can repeat the experiment in the same way you did. • Results. You must include all your results. Results tables should be clearly labelled. All measurements must include units. If graphs are required, they should be an appropriate size and clearly labelled. • Discussion. You need to explain what your results mean. You should link your results to relevant theories and explain how they fit together. You must use in-text citations where appropriate. Any unexpected results should be explained. • Conclusion. State what has been learned from this experiment. Have you met the aim of the experiment? • Errors. What may have affected your results? This section should include errors such as systematic, parallax and human errors – ones that cannot be avoided. • References. You should list all sources used. ——
You should refer to a minimum of 5 relevant sources for your report. Minimum 2 sources should be printed texts. You must include a Harvard style reference list at the end of your report. ——
