An easy step by step workbook. Publisher's Synopsis:This easy to use curriculum teaches inquisitive students how to write science lab reports in a step by step format. The introductory sections include - What is a lab report? What are the elements of a lab report? What is a scientific method? What experiments/science project to do? (Additional hints provided from a science fair grand prize winner!). The workbook is spiral bound to lay flat for ease of student use and is divided into two levels (Level One and Level Two). This workbook is frequently purchased by home school families to compliment their existing science curricula textbooks. These curriculum often ask the student to write lab reports, but do not provide detailed instructions as to proper method and format. Thus our Lab Reports are an indispensable item for the home school science student. Specifically, within Level One the student learns the steps of the scientific method. Student learns to determine a title for an experiment, formulate an hypothesis, record information about an experiment, record observations and data, make tables and graphs, and analyze/determine results. This is all recorded in a log. The student is then taught how to transform and transfer the data from the log to a final lab report.Level Two expands this foundation through learning to refine and master the log preparation process. This level also spends ample time teaching the student to write the content of their report better. They will actually produce secondary/college level quality lab report(s). These will contain greater subject depth, analytical clarity, and length. This 100 page workbook is intended for all students performing experiments between grades 3-12. Features A How to use this workbook introduction Detailed instructions at each step of the workbook format process*Both levels each contain:*Three (3) log report templates*Three (3) lab report templates*Teacher report and grading instructions*Standardized grading charts/recommendations*Unit of measure conversion charts Whether a student is just beginning to adventure into the arena of science fairs or performing classroom experiments, this workbook will guide him/her into the careful preparation of lab reports from the elementary grades through secondary/college level. It's a great way to not only learn needed and valuable skills for today, but prepare for the future that may lie ahead!
