Scientific Concept

Most science labs are designed to help you learn about a scientific concept. If you are having trouble identifying the scientific concept this lab is about, check the title of the lab in the lab manual and read the introduction to the lab in the manual. It will be something like photosynthesis, quantization of energy, or momentum conservation.

Write down the scientific concept. Then write down what you know about the concept based on the lab manual, textbook, class notes, and handouts. Don’t try to make it pretty; just keep writing. Get as much down as you can. Because the point of the lab is to learn about the scientific concept, it’s important to state what you already know.
