Biotechnology: LABORATORY REPORT Most Essential Learning Competencies: ⚬OPERATIONALLY DEFINE A LABORATORY REPORT ⚬IDENTIFY THE IMPORTANCE OF LABORATORY REPORTS IN THE SUBJECT ⚬DETERMINE THE FORMAT OF A LABORATORY REPORT ⚬PRACTICE WRITING A LABORATORY REPORT What is a Laboratory Report? A COMPLETE AND DETAILED RECORD OR ACCOUNT OF THE THINGS DISCOVERED IN AN EXPERIMENT. Importance of a Lab Report The main purpose of a lab report is to 01 demonstrate your understanding of the scientific method by performing and evaluating a hands-on lab experiment. Lab reports should communicate the important 02 work you have done in the laboratory so that someone who was not there can understand and replicate your results They also propose future studies and 03 experiments or suggest alterations to pre-existing methods. Parts of a Lab Report TITLE PAGE 01 OR COVER 05 RESULTS PAGE 02 ABSTRACT 06 DISCUSSION 03 INTRODUCTION 07 CONCLUSION 04 MATERIALS AND 08 REFERENCES METHODS  Title Page The title page contains the following: 1.Name of the Experiment 2.Student Name 3.Name of the Teacher Mrs. Jobelle S. Busadre 4.Section 5.Date Submitted  Abstract ⚬The abstract serves as a synopsis or summary of the experiment. ⚬It is concise, often around 250 words, and briefly summarizes the experiment, results, and significance of the study. ⚬In general, an abstract would include a sentence or two for each of the following points: 1. Background/Objective 2. Hypothesis/Aim 3. Materials and Methods 4. Results/Discussion 5. Conclusion To write a lab report abstract, use these guiding questions: --What is the wider context of your study (background)? --What research question were you trying to answer (objectives and hypothesis)? --How did you perform the experiment (Materials and methods)? --What did your results show (Results)? --How did you interpret your results (Discussion)? --What is the importance of your findings (Discussion/Conclusion)?  Abstract The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of varying light intensities on the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leaves. We hypothesized that higher light intensities would increase the rate of photosynthesis. Using a controlled environment, spinach leaves were exposed to different light intensities, and the rate of photosynthesis was measured by the oxygen output. The results indicated a positive correlation between light intensity and photosynthesis rate, with the highest rate observed at the maximum light intensity. These findings support the hypothesis and suggest that light intensity is a crucial factor in optimizing photosynthesis. This study provides insights into agricultural practices that could enhance crop yields through controlled light exposure. ⚬The Introduction introduction provides the reader with relevant background information, explains the experiment and what it aims to accomplish, and highlights its importance. ⚬Your introduction should include the background of the study, objectives, and hypothesis.  Introduction Photosynthesis is a fundamental biological process through which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen as a byproduct. Understanding the factors that influence the rate of photosynthesis is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and enhancing crop yields. This experiment aims to investigate the effect of varying light intensities on the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leaves. The objective is to determine how different light intensities impact the photosynthetic rate, measured by the oxygen output. We hypothesize that higher light intensities will result in an increased rate of photosynthesis. This study is significant as it provides insights into how light conditions can be manipulated to maximize photosynthetic efficiency, which is essential for improving plant growth and productivity.  Introduction Photosynthesis is a fundamental biological process through which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen as a byproduct.

Give enough detail so that others can follow or evaluate your procedures. Write this section in the past tense. ⚬You should describe your experimental design, your subjects, materials, and specific procedures used for data collection and analysis.  Results ⚬In your results section, you should report the results of any statistical analysis procedures that you undertook. ⚬You may use graphs, charts, or tables to present your data. Results ⚬To properly label the tables, you must first write the Table number, followed by the title of the table above the table. ⚬For the graphs and charts, the label must be written below (charts and graphs should be labeled as “Figures”) Discussion In this section, you can: 01 INTERPRET YOUR RESULTS COMPARE YOUR 04 EXPLAIN ANY UNEXPECTED RESULTS 02 FINDINGS WITH YOUR EXPECTATIONS SUGGEST POSSIBLE 05 IMPROVEMENTS FOR FURTHER STUDIES 03 IDENTIFY ANY SOURCES OF EXPERIMENTAL ERROR  Discussion Interpreting your results involves clarifying how An effective Discussion your results help you section will also highlight answer your main the strengths and research question. Report limitations of a study. whether your results support your hypotheses. COMPARE YOUR FINDINGS WITH WHEN DESCRIBING OTHER RESEARCH LIMITATIONS, USE AND EXPLAIN ANY SPECIFIC EXAMPLES.
