Assignment Details

FOUR of these experiments will require a full laboratory report (see separate instructions below).  The FOUR experiments which require full laboratory reports will be allocated to each group. Each full report should be approximately 1,500 words. The remaining experiments require a short report write up within the laboratory book. This should include, the hypothesis, outline of materials used and equipment, brief methodology, the results obtained, a discussion of the results and the conclusions drawn from the experiment. Any issues or questions on the experiments sheets should also be answered/ addressed in the write up.
