Laboratory Report Format

 

The lab report is to summarize what you did in the laboratory exercise. Treat this report as if you are giving this report to your boss. Remember that your boss does not know how you determined your results, so your report should summarize clearly how you performed this piece of work.

 

Your laboratory report should have the following sections. The report should be typed. Remember to use complete sentences - this is a technical report.

 

Title:  The title of the laboratory exercise. Make sure your name is on the report.

 

Objectives:  State what the objectives or purpose of the laboratory exercise are.

 

Procedures:  Describe the process (briefly) in a paragraph or two on what you went through in conducting the laboratory exercise. There is no need to describe every single command that you used. Remember that your boss probably has no clue how the image processing software works. A description of the general process that you went through to perform the lab is required for this section.

 

Results and Discussion:  Describe, in detail, the results you found during the exercise. In essence, this would involve answering the questions that were asked in the lab. If tables, maps or diagrams are necessary for supportive evidence, then include these also. Be sure to label each table, figure and map and provide a caption.

 

Conclusions:  Provide overall conclusions of what you performed in the laboratory. 

 

Recommendations:  If possible, provide a recommendation for future improvement of the lab. This helps me in improving the lab exercise for next year.
