Dec 19th Class Assignment

Getting the Lab(right) Write
You have 10 minutes to create a few summary sentences for each section of the lab report. This is to go into your lab book to use as a reference to help you create a fluid lab report. In the last lab many of the reports showed that there was a disconnect between sections.

After creating the summary outline as an individual you are to take your specific section and create a specific outline for it. Use labwrite to help you with this. (20 minutes)

Things to remember when writing
1. When describing a concept go from general to specific. Then give a real world example for the concept. One that illustrates to the reader how this may affect the world around them.
2. Say what you mean, mean what you say.
3. Use the appropriate terminology. The terms you have learned are an integral part of how biologist communicate. Make sure you are using them when possible.
