CASE 19: Introducing the Scientific Method Through a Lab Report

You’ve been asked to assist a professor who is teaching an introductory-level anatomy and physiology course that includes a lab component. Because many students either have not prepared lab reports at all or prepared them much differently in high school, the professor finds it helpful to distribute a sample lab report. The sample, however, is not comprehensive, so you have been asked to create a handout explaining what this particular lab report does and doesn’t do, with the main goal of helping students understand the objective of a lab report. To get started designing your handout, go here.
