Experiments and Laboratory Reports

During the first half of the semester, you will be assigned six basic experiments to conduct. Two students will work together as a team. For each experiment, you will use the same animal and the same equipment. During the second half of the semester each team will design and execute an original experiment. It would be wise to start thinking very early of possibilities for this project.

The data that you collect during the process of experimentation will be used as the basis for writing your laboratory reports. You will be required to write four reports. The first will be based on Experiments 1 and 2. The second will be based on Experiments 3 and 4. The third will be based on Experiments 5 and 6. For these three reports you will be using the data from your own subject and the data from the other subjects in your lab period. The fourth report will be based on your original experiment.
