They are writing up a formal lab sheet based on class discussion, notes, and of course observations from having done an experiment in class. This will be weighted as a test grade. They had class time to get it started and need to finish it for homework. It is due Thursday. They should communicate their scientific thinking in writing. Be specific and include details. The conclusion should reflect back upon the original question.
